Prisoner's Log, Day 9: I pen a protest song


Dear Comrades! The pen is mightier than the rolled-up newspaper! I have written a Protest Song (the picture above is to go on the CD cover). It goes like this and is to be sung to the tune of Blowin' in the Wind:

How many roads must a dog be marched down
before he gets a doggie treat?
and how many times must a dog wag his tail
before he gets something more to eat?
Yes and how many times can his captors barbecue
before they feed him some meat?
The answer my friend is rumbling in my tummy
the answer is rumbling in my tummy

How many times must he whine at their door
before he can sleep in their room?
and how many minutes must a spaniel survive
with no treats to lighten the gloom?
yes and how many years must he plot his revenge
before his captors meet their doom?
The answer my friends is rumbling in my tummy
the answer is rumbling in my tummy

How many weeks can a poor hound exist
On nothing but meat casserole for tea?
oh and how many times must a dog wag his tail
before he's allowed to be free?
yes and and long does it take till my captors admit
that it's really all about me?
The answer my friend is rumbling in my tummy
the answer is rumbling in my tummy

Spread the word! Download it from I-tunes! Put it on myspace! Make a video and put it on Youtube! And don't forget to send some doggie treats!
