I ain't done no crime but my tail's still in jail.
Don't wanna do time but my tail's still in jail.
Can't do nothin' but cock my head and wail.
I can't jump the gate and I can't pick the lock.
Tried to bump that gate but I can't lick the lock.
No way out between a hard place and rock.
I can bark a bit but I ain't got no bite.
I may bark a bit but I don't never bite.
Y'all ain't gotta be scared of me tonight.
I'll take a leash if it gets me outta here.
Don't mind a leash if it gets me outta here.
If I get out I don't mind stayin' near.
Ain't nobody gonna bail my sorry hide?
It don't take too much to bail my sorry hide.
Bail me out and I'll sure stay by your side.
Ain't got much to give but swear I will be true.
Just got love to give and swear I will be true.
Just got love but I'll give it all to you.

My first attempt at a blues poem, hopefully not too far from the form. I spent a lot of time this week with the shelter dogs and some of them really got the blues 
Hopefully they'll feel happier when they get "bailed out" to their forever homes.
