my doggie don't wear glasses

The last of the three poems I've ever had the ability to recite, though for completely different reasons. Not quite as weighty a tome as the previous two. It appeared in the book Can I Come Down Now Dad? (and now in the omnibus The Family Pack: Brother-in-law and Other Animals, Can I Come Down Now Dad?, These Were Your Father's).
By John Hegley (who wears glasses).

My doggie don't wear glasses

my doggie don't wear glasses
so they're lying when they say
a dog looks like its owner
aren't they?

My favourite poem by him, IIRC, is entitled simply "Amsterdam".

I shall recite it to you some day, if I may.

That's really weird. Never heard that before, but while I was in Latvia, for no apparent reason, I had a dream about a dog that wore glasses.
