Extreme Whippet
By Darren M. Grine
Many times Im compared to a professional athlete
Enter me in a racing event and Ill show you an awesome feat
Hold on tightly because my performance will put you back in your seat
My life revolves around my favorite word speed
If Im given anything fast to chase I will exercise my need
Meanwhile if you dare to challenge me you better take heed
I enjoy living and pushing everything to the edge
When Im running in motion I look like a pointed wedge
Im a fearless whippet and living in the fast lane is my pledge
At any given time Im in a state of energize
From a deep sleep to a fast pace I quickly metabolize
If you witness this action you wont believe your eyes
I can go full throttle twenty four-seven
Burning the candle at both ends puts me in seventh heaven
While a zeal for life and special privileges granted keep me driven
When youre not looking I will take from your plate
If you find your entre missing it means that this meal was great
I regard this as abandoned because youre not watching and I cant wait
Most likely I will lounge in your favorite chair
If you ask me to move Ill just lay there and give you a glare
I wont flinch or budge even if you give me that determined stare
While you might think I get everything just in spite
You have to realize that Im sophisticated and it feels so right
Being waited upon is whats expected from all day until the night
Sometimes I go to shows and trips by car or jet
My lavish lifestyle is one that no ones going to forget
Ive been called presumptuous, but prefer extreme whippet better yet
