Barley

Barley

You sit still on my lap I cuddle you,

A small brown mutt that is you,

You run round the house like a lunatic,

When feed time comes your fussy and just peck,

So I give you chicken or lamb bits,

Because you’re the best dog and I love you to bits.

You take away my sorrow, and loneliness

Never had a dog like you before

A mind of your own,

But so loving and giving,

You are always there,

Ask nothing of me,
