Man's Best Friend

When I was a child, I had a Rough Collie dog It visited pensioners on the council estate And became an incredible friend and mate Dogs are amazing; they-leave-me agog. A dog can be taught-to-sniff-out coronavirus And other-serious life-threatening ailments Detect when an epileptic might-take-a seizure And help arrest some no-good dodgy-geezer. A police dog can be a courageous lifesaver Between-rival football teams, a pacemaker But the honey badger is the most fearless creature It'll fight off much larger predators, a lion and a hyena. A dog can be a loyal friend until the end But can often be owned by some blockhead. Such animals as these are a lifelong friend So please, please don't bully or torment. Remember all the good things they do Remember, they are man's best friend A dog is loyal; they'll stick to you like glue They're not just a miniature Shih Tzu trend.
