Your own fire hydrant
Dotting the city streets, sometimes yellow or red
Handy hydrant plugs keep those fire hoses fed
Providing you with security and if it gets too hot
They might open one to create a cool down spot
And speaking of Spot, traditionally dogs lift their legs
Or they get hugged by a drunkard sunken to the dregs
The fire hydrant gets no respect from cartoon’s either
Mr Magoo runs over one and I laugh until I need a breather
The poor thing though. It’s main job and purpose is to save
To try to keep your valuables safe, and to save you
I’m finding that I share a lot of those traits too
I don’t know why but I still want to keep you safe
But the rest of the stuff is really starting to chafe
Your own fire hydrant wants a new coat of paint and a fence
Keep Spot at bay and he also humbly requests your presence
Signed your own fire hydrant, the beat up old plug
Remember, no pee, presence and a great big hug
