This morning when I walked my dog,

When we first started off,

I heard a whimper,

And I wondered if my dog

Was hurting,

But she really seemed to want to go .

Her tail was wagging,

And she was happily sniffing .

What’s that whining?

So I thought the noise might be a squeak

From the swivel on her leash,

But as we got out into the field,

Where I could release my hound,

And saw her run way up in front of me,

And it was then I realized ,

The squeaky wheel was me,

My polyester sleeve 

Rubbing against the bodice of

My polyester coat.
