Hush up, silly Billy!
(Billy is my dog.)
He's BARK, BARK, BARK, BARK, BARKING
at a rabbit or a frog.
SSSHHHHH! Hush up, silly Billy.
You'll wake the neighbors up.
You make ten times more noise
than when you were a pup.
Back then, when he was little,
he got hit by a bus.
We nursed him and took care of him.
Now, he takes care of us.
He was lucky! We were, too!
We think it every day.
Our great big Collie-Shepherd
who likes to run and play. |
He's the best of two breeds, but,
some people say "He's just a mutt."
Some ways his Shepherd traits you see,
but mostly he's Collie, to me.
The neighbors like him. So would you.
(He watches for the neighbors, too.)
They know that he would let them know
and bark and put on quite a show
if there was something they should know
happening outside, you know.
(I say "You know" too much. You know?)
But, mostly, he is quiet
and we know all is well
Our silly Billy, Billy! OH!
There's one more thing to tell! |
He LOVES to climb up in the car
and take a long, long ride.
He looks out the windows.
Front and back and side!
