I Love Dogs!
Cute dogs, mute dogs,
miniscule, minute dogs.
Loud dogs, proud dogs,
stand out in the crowd dogs.
Yappy dogs, snappy dogs,
bright-eyed, smiley, happy dogs.
Spotty dogs, snotty dogs,
daft and crazy dotty dogs.
Shaggy dogs, scraggy dogs,
tail is always waggy dogs.
Tall dogs, small dogs,
I just love them all dogs!
miniscule, minute dogs.
Loud dogs, proud dogs,
stand out in the crowd dogs.
Yappy dogs, snappy dogs,
bright-eyed, smiley, happy dogs.
Spotty dogs, snotty dogs,
daft and crazy dotty dogs.
Shaggy dogs, scraggy dogs,
tail is always waggy dogs.
Tall dogs, small dogs,
I just love them all dogs!
