My Dog by Emily Lewis
My Dog
-by Emily Lewis
Have you seen
a little dog,
Anywhere about?
A raggy dog, a shaggy dog
Who is always looking out
For some fresh mischief
Which he thinks he ought to do,
He's very likely, at this minute,
Biting someone's shoe.
If you see that little dog,
His tail up in the air,
A whirly tail, a curly tail,
A dog who does not care
For any other dog he meets,
Not even for himself,
Then hide your mats
And put your meat upon the shelf.
If you see that little dog,
Barking at the cars,
A raggy dog, a shaggy dog,
With eyes like twinkling stars,
Just let me know
For though he's bad as bad can be,
I wouldn't change that dog
For all the treasures of the sea!
