People are Dogs and Dogs are People
Claudia Skipper
It's funny, you know
When you see someone who looks like a dog
And you want to tell them that, but you can't
Because it's not very nice.
IT'S HALARIOUS, you know
When you see a dog that looks like a person
because you can tell them
because they can't talk back.
It's embarassing, you know
When you're the person who looks like the dog
And you know it, and you know others know it
And you hate yourself
IT'S MORTIFYING, you know
When you're the dog that looks like the person
because you don't know it, but you know everyone is talking about you, but you can't talk back.
IT'S AMAZING, you know
When the people you meet
just like you for you
not the shoes on your feet.
