The Best Dog in the Universe
Found in a quarry
Of origins unknown,
Turbo is his name – he is
TURB-tastic, TURB-acious, TURB-iffic!
A tail-chasing tornado,
An explorer of backyards, own and other,
A maker of many friends – he is
TURB-tastic, TURB-acious, TURB-iffic!
A lover of sticks and twigs in fact
Branches of any kind, hurled or lobbed,
An Olympic canine paddler – he is
TURB-tastic, TURB-acious, TURB-iffic!
Stretched out on the terrace watching the stars
He protects, a snake-alert cat alarm,
Waiting for snacks, for pats and to play – he is
TURB-tastic, TURB-acious, TURB-iffic!
