Everyone is eager to find someone to pair up with
Going through life with in any special capacity
Whether it was meeting them at work
Or walking around the dog park one day
What happens when two curious dog owners
Chose to pair up their Siberian Husky and Basset Hound
Secretly it was because the owners were eager themselves
For a love connection of their own and use their pets as cover
A recipe for disaster that everyone within a 10 mile radius
Saw coming and privately cringed about as they watched
Except their clueless owners looking for a hook-up ignored them
Soufflés falling into the bottom of their baking pans in sadness
Turtles burying their heads in their shells for days on end
Bedrooms getting trashed with torn pillows and duvet covers
An argument from even the strongest of couples will commence
Huskies always looking to get from one point to another
Without a moment's hesitation and are always on a mission
Always having a plan or some broad strokes of one going
While Basset Hounds are a much quieter breed of animal
Flying by the seat of their metaphorical pants
Never thinking about the future for more than five minutes at a time
Let's just say that their personalities will never sync up
A divorce would be imminent from the starting line
Driven crazy by the neediness of one looking for constant approval
Always pleading for a hug or to be walked around the block
At least twice a day without giving much in return to the walker
Also irritated by the cold distance of the other looking for the door
A heart that's four sizes too small with the emotional growth of an ant
A sociopath in the making with the headlining role in a Dateline episode
Best to be direct when breaking up with a Basset Hound
They never seem to get the hint when you're playing them off
Hard to do when you always staring into the saddest eyes
Known to man as if they had never seen a day of happiness in their lives
Ones that would rival Eeyore's and Winnie the Pooh's
Especially after he finished his last honey pot in his pantry
Having to bite the proverbial bullet and take the plunge
Off a ledge scarier than the one Butch and Sundance jumped
Ready, set, break-up with something that was doomed from the start
A lot more difficult than you may think; not knowing what the reaction
Will end up being on the news or just a passing moment
Only time will tell if the end will be a relief or the start of a new nightmare
Be prepared to have the police on standby just in case.
