I took my dog to a movie--
My dog was gripped throughout;
He didn't shuffle in his seat,
He didn't kick about.
He fixed upon that picture
And he followed every scene--
Not once was he distracted
From the action on the screen.
He sat there captivated
As he watched the plot unfold,
From the moment that it opened
'Til the closing credits rolled.
Yes, I took my dog to a movie
And a chord it must have struck.
It's really most peculiar--
He didn't like the book!
