The merciless streets are messy today
With their foul smell and dirty alleys
Bins are turned upside down
Night crawlers have left their mark
With their dark habits and putrid smell
Hanging out for all to see
As for me, I woke up in a dusty corner
With the morning noise overpowering my ears
My nightmarish dream dissolving with the night
As the morning sunlight warmed its way to my heart
And the smell of breakfast poked my nose nonstop
Awakening my humongous doggy appetite
And my stomach started to tremble
Pushing me on to my feet, as the fleas started to feed
The life of a stray dog must go on
