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.
