Rags Rasputin the first & last…

Will we ever have another dog such as our first?

Not unless we can have time reversed,

Rags was not the best dog, nor was he the worst,

Dad just did not train him very well, most of the time he just cursed…

He did run away when free he did get,

Never to come back till hungry you can bet,

Dad would spank him with a rolled up paper,

Wish he used that on me instead of the belt,

Instead it would have felt just so much like vapor…

Rags looked like a sheep dog,

Most everyone thought him cute,

Can’t include a picture of him,

No longer do I have one, oh shoot,

This story I do write will have to be for him my salute…

Poor old Rags, he was picked on by me, as I persecuted the weak,

I guess today I would be called a geek,

I did not have anyone to pick on, so the dog did I disrespectfully treat,

I find myself to be quite upset regards my behavior then,

So dearest Rags, I do herein apologize to you again and again…
