Oh you Earth Dog

Now happiness wagging

Your familial greeting

That cheers us up as I bend to you my lovely

In display of your canine Sagacity

Ever Loyal--

Ever Reliable

Follow your keen scent

For sniffing out what’s apparent

Bury the bone of your content

Within our breast

For Safe Keeping

Humanitarian sustenance of justice

With your nose to the grindstone

Bark at shadows wrecking havoc at our door

Growl baring teeth to terrify

Cowards who roust our peace

Lift a leg to leave your mark

While yet you enliven our joy lest we forget

The great companion you are

Forever by our side
