for Hi-Desert hounds Marisol and Bowser All the small dogs all the way Back to the lap say yap-yap-yap The small dogs go because they Know when the big dogs come to play It gets ruff-ruff-ruff and raw The hour of the power of the paw Two big dogs asleep right here Might fill small dogs' small hearts with fear Dreaming they fillet and eat Some small dogs from across the street Woof-woof-woofing down the small To wake up hungry after all Dreaming seeming that they do What big dogs waking threaten to Bowser could and Marisol Would eat anything anyway Waking they know to agree Though to Alpo and Pedigree Big dogs dreaming snout to snout About small dogs tiptoeing out Big dogs waking and I say They make me arf-arf-arfully Glad to have big dogs (really I say it is they who have me) Steven Curtis Lance   Image by Franziska
