When you go out with a wolfhound 
The people all stand in your way 
Asking the usual questions 
These are the things they all say. 

Will you look at that pony, 
Look at the size of his feet; 
What have you done with his saddle? 
Tell me how much does he eat?

Why do you have a dog this size? 
He's the biggest that I've ever met. 
It must cost a fortune to feed him 
Who would want that as a pet? 

Do you keep him outside or inside? 
Does he get to sleep on your bed? 
What size was he as a puppy? 
My dog is the size of his head. 

So what do you say for an answer? 
I tell them, as sweet as I can: 
He's better behaved than your children - 
And cheaper to keep than your man!!!
