~
I march with my dogs,
By leash on the street.
I bid a good morning
To each one I meet.
The people, that is,
When then they will speak:
“There goes Lord Belleview;
Who’s kept on a leash.”
The Lord of the Belleview!
That’s my claim to fame.
For those who don’t know me,
Well, they don’t know my name.
Some say I’m crazy;
Lost it; Insane;
But, just ask my doggies,
They’ll tell you I’m tame.
O, I am Lord Belleview,
The one and the same.
Unless It’s bass-ackwards,
I’m not who I claim.
