Billy Joe
Billy Joe is lots of fun,
Curly brown hair,
And a very long tongue.
He loves to play,
And runs around,
Picks up toys,
That make a sound.
He chases birds,
But mostly balls,
And always runs back
When he’s called.
He loves his dinner,
And his treats,
He loves his walks,
And meet and greets.
He loves to snuggle,
Head on knee,
And just close his eyes,
And snore quietly.
He almost loves us,
More than we love him,
If that’s at all possible,
For our love’s to the brim.
