Year of the Earth Dog
Oh you Earth Dog come
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
