In an urban residence
Lurks that animal of leisure
Barks work is for peasants
Life is for pleasure.
A beautiful Border Collie
From a hard working breed
Sneers chasing sheep a folly
A hard way to get a feed.
He wears his devotion
And his loyalty so fair
And his loving emotion
With an elegant air.
Always complacent
And so very smug
The most perfect mate
To accept a hug.
Why be judgemental
That he prefers to play
He’s worth the rental
So around he will stay.
oooOooo
