MY DOG

His nose is short and scrubby;
His ears hang rather low;
And he always brings the stick back,
No matter how far you throw.

He gets spanked rather often,
For things he shouldn't do,
Like lying-on-beds and barking
And eating up shoes when they're new.

He always wants to be going
Where he isn't supposed to go.
He tracks up the house when it's snowing-----
Oh, puppy, I love you so.
