My Dog
Listen to Jacqueline read her poem ...
When he’s curled up asleep
He’s a sweet dog, a neat dog,
A cute dog, a mute dog!
When he’s wide awake
He’s a smelly dog, a grubby-belly dog,
A needy dog, a greedy dog!
But always my playful, faithful,
Adorably scraggy, tail-always-waggy,
Best-friend-in-the-world dog.
He’s a sweet dog, a neat dog,
A cute dog, a mute dog!
When he’s wide awake
He’s a smelly dog, a grubby-belly dog,
A needy dog, a greedy dog!
But always my playful, faithful,
Adorably scraggy, tail-always-waggy,
Best-friend-in-the-world dog.
