Creation

When God made the earth and sky,
 the flowers and the trees,
He then made all the animals,
 the fish, the birds, the bees.
And when at last He'd finished, 
not one was quite the same.
He said I'll walk this world of mine
 and give each one a name.
And so he traveled far and wide
 and everywhere he went,
A little creature followed him 
until its strength was spent.
When all were named upon the earth 
and in the sky and sea,
The little creature said, "Dear Lord,
there's no name left for me!"
Kindly the Father said to him,
 "I've left you to the end,
I've turned my own name back to front 
and called you Dog, my friend."

Doggie Don't

Don't smell crotches, don't eat plants.
Don't steal food or underpants.
Don't eat my socks, don't grab my hair!
Don't rip the stuffing from the chair.
Don't chew my shoes, what is this mush?
Eat your cookies, drink your drink,
Outta the toilet! Outta the sink!
Away from the litterbox, it's for the cat.|
(And must you kiss me after that!?)
Raising a puppy is not for the lazy,
Those rugrats are funny but also quite crazy.
Don't despair through the toil and the strife,
Cause after three years, you'll get back your life.
So let's go for walkies so you can do your "thing."
And maybe I'll get back my good diamond ring!
