| A Boy And His Dog (For Geoffrey Johnson and Berkeley) As Geoffrey stumbles sleepy-eyed once more He barely gets his pup outside the door An accident's avoided on the floor This time - but it was close you can be sure. Next Berkeley's stalking Simba fearlessly Then pounces on his prey courageously And rolls around the room ferociously A tumbling bundle of hilarity. Sometimes the boy regrets his promise to Take care of him, scoop up the doggy-do; He'd love to sleep again the morning through And quiet moments sure seem mighty few. But Berkeley owns a piece of Geoffrey's heart A guarantee they'll never be apart. Copyright 10/06/2000, Denise Corbley Snyder |
