The Canine Tyrant

He came, he saw, he drooled, and he conquered
"Death to obedience", his every action screams
Sirs & Madams, don't be charmed by his angelic looks
Suffice to say, he is no less than a canine tyrant
There is not a surface in our home, he's left unscathed
Drooled over, chewed, gnawed, nibbled, licked, puked and shredded.
Duma or Dew or DewDew, the canine lord has many names
Swahili for 'Cheetah', his name & him are a perfect fit
Tyrant he is, yet pampered and adored by one and all
Like his namesake, he too prowls around, our house and hearts
Sir Duma, lording over his dominion, our little Cheetah
