Ode to a free puppy

Something ‘bout a puppy that is very plain to see;
There’s nothing like a puppy. ‘specially one that’s free.

You find ’em in a cardboard box outside the groce’ry store.
And though you try to pass them by, there’s always just one more.

He has a wiggly bottom and a waggly little tail,
A tongue that’s wet and lickey, and ears big as a sail.

A puppy is a clown. He’ll make you laugh away your fears;
Especially when he’s running and he trips on his own ears.

His feet are big as dinner plates and make it hard to run.
But nothin’s gonna’ stop this guy from having lots of fun.

A toddler and his puppy pal, they need no toys at all.
They have all sorts of fun at play with just a rubber ball.

A puppy may have spots or stripes, he may be brown or white;
It really doesn’t matter when he sleeps with you at night.

A toddler and a squirmy pup, they really are the same.
There’s nothing like a puppy pal to lead a boy to fame.

Nothing helps a boy grow strong like having his own pup.
So all boys need a puppy pal to help them to grow up.
