“Albert”

You saw the werewolves,

The ambulance siren hurt your ears.

Oh Albert, why did I leave you

With a roll of sausage and a prayer?

Big Al, you were dependable,

Unlike Pooty, though she was sweet.

Leave the last words unwritten
For the broken-arm van drivers.

Ah-Roo, Ah-Roo, Ah-Roo!

Serenade the dark still countryside!

Help the sailor and the mermaid

Remember the sound of the tide!

Rocks rock my world and yet

I need you friend Albert.

Scratch away the vermin of time,

Make pure will a metronome!

Bark! Bark! Woof!

(It’s the same in French)

My dog, the hero never shown in ‘The Odyssey’

Defeats Scala and watches ‘Jersey Shore’.
