Woof!

It's tough being a puppy, there is 
little doubt about that when a human
decides they're duty-bound to stifle 
all our natural inclinations the impulse
ingrained in our prebirth memory 
that emerge just as soon as we do 
compelling us to be natural. And 
natural is emptying our bowels and 
bladders whenever the urge overtakes
marking here and there whether it's a 
backyard or a house, all the same to us
why wouldn't it be? Upon us is placed
the unnatural burden of being our own
 agents in transforming what nature 
has endowed us with to please the 
picky nature of humans. Forbidden 
the delights of aromatic ordure; not 
to nibble nor to roll. The sporty exercise 
of digging in the garden, racing after cars? 
Forget it. We've got to be well 'socialized'
to spare those humans of embarrassment 
at antics that may seem peculiar to them 
but are simply us. No jumping on people
no licking their faces, no fun at all.
There are things our people do that
seem pretty peculiar to us, and we do
nothing to belabour that behaviour. Just
as well we're capable of sussing them
out. Does that prove which of our
species is more highly evolved?
