From the minute your Boxer arrives
Things will never be the same
He'll take over your life completely
But you'll soon be glad that he came.
As a pup he's inclined to be wilful
Defiant and boisterous at play
When he's chewing his lead whilst out walking
You may even rue the day.
But when he reaches 8 or 9
And begins to settle down...!
Oh, by the way did anyone tell you
That Boxers middle name is "Clown".
He'll like to be with you round the house
He's a dog that likes to join in
He'll 'help' you to lay that carpet
With a shuffle, a grunt and a grin!
So if you're thinking of owning a Boxer
I promise you life will never be dull
He'll make you laugh, and he'll make you cry
As he lives his life to the full.

'Oh look at me' said the Boxer
'Oh look at me and sigh'
None can compare with my beauty
For a Boxer puppy am I.
I'm soft and adorably cuddly
With eyes full of mischief and joy
'We'll have her' they said so excited
They looked on me just as a toy.
'Oh look at me' said the Boxer
'Oh look at me and cry'
No longer adorably cuddly
No longer with joy in my eye.
I cried in the night, so they told me
Made puddles on their kitchen floor
And though I was only a baby
They left me outside the back door.
It's cold out here, and I'm lonely
They've forgotten to feed me today
They've packed up their bags and
they've left me
To go off on some grand holiday.
I've been trying to look for my people
Though really I cannot think why
They've hit me, and kicked me, and
starved me
Still I'm willing to have one more try.
But now as I lay at the roadside
My heart is so weary and sore
Won't someone out there simply love
me
I've nowhere to go any more.
'Oh look at me' said the Boxer
'Oh look at me and sigh'
None can compare with my beauty
And the joy has come back to my eye.
For I've found someone to love me
To care about me, to adore
The ice round my heart it has melted
And I'm ready to trust you once more.
So now all you Boxer breeders
Before you sell your next whelp
Don't just get rid to the highest bidder
Or, like me, they might just need help.
