Rescue Canine Christmas  Carol...

T'was the night before Christmas
and the shelter is  dark,
The whole place is silent,
not even a bark.
The dogs are all  locked in their pens for the night,
The staff has gone home and turned out  the light.

As I lay my head down on the cold concrete floor,
I fondly  recall my home from before.
The family I loved, who loved me right  back,
We'd share everything -- from secret to snack.
Things couldn't be  better this time last year,
But that has all changed and now I am  here.

I won't see the tree, the lights, or the snow,
I'm scared and  alone, my spirits are low.
The others like me weren't put up for  adoption,
A new family and home, for us isn't an option.
We've been locked  up in cells as if we were crooks,
We don't deserve homes because of our  looks.
Not Diesel, or Bingo, or the young one named Percy,
Deserve to be  loved nor shown any mercy.

While families celebrate holiday cheer,
I  know in my heart that my end is near.
The vet will arrive, the lights will go  on,
By the time you awake, we all will be gone.
A stranger will come and  take me away,
I'll never wake to see another day.
As I close my eyes I'll  shed you a tear,
The fondest of memories I'll always keep near.

The  only thing I've ever asked of Santa Claus,
Is to stop all these unfair and  ridiculous laws.
You said without me, your life was not full,
So why does  it matter that I'm a "pit bull"?

In my dream Santa shouts when he's  finished his deed,
* "MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL...REGARDLESS OF  BREED"!
