(Gato)
Desde que ya era un mozo
no tengo perro.
Y ahora que soy grande
tampoco tengo.
Tuve un perro chiquito,
"pelo de alambre";
con lo que yo ganaba
se murió de hambre.
Van tirando de un carro,
puro pellejo,
un perro, un gurisito,
y un criollo viejo.
Los tres van caminando
llenos de tierra,
y los tres van pensando
¡qué vida perra!
(El encomillado, la puntuación y la ortografía son de Alfredo Zitarrosa)
