Dogs (after Ogden Nash) The dog is man`s best friend. He has a tail on one end. Up in front he has teeth. And four legs underneath.

Dogs like to bark. Dogs like to bark. They like it best after dark. They like it best after dark. A dog that is indoors A dog that is indoors Wants to be outdoors. Wants to be outdoors.

But let him out – and what then? But let him out – and what then? He wants to be in again. He wants to be in again.

Dogs cheer up people who are frowning. Dogs cheer up people who are frowning. And rescue people who are drowning. And rescue people who are drowning.

Dogs in the country have fun. Dogs in the country have fun. They run and run and run! They run and run and run!

But in the city this species, But in the city this species, Is walked around on leashes. Is walked around on leashes.

Dogs are friendly, loyal and honest. Dogs are friendly, loyal and honest. Of all the pets I like them most. Of all the pets I like them most.
