Poem
The Spaniel A Spaniel that uses its head Can tell when its owner’s unfed So instead of a duck That is down on its luck Will deliver a pizza instead The Affenpinscher (Affen) Not sniffle nor snuffle nor wheeze Not chest in distress if you please None we have found Quite capture the sound Of its name (which is more like a sneeze) The Afghan Hound The Afghan’s a dog groomer’s joy The definitive Lord Fauntleroy But with all that coiffure One is never quite sure If the “she” is a girl or a boy The Airedale Terrier Airedale, king of the terriers Domain without borders or barriers Stubborn and proud On alert, never cowed Justly known for their cute little derriers The Akita Hachiko the name that he bore An Akita of Japanese lore In sunshine and rain He would wait for a train And a man who died seasons before The Alaskan Malamute He traveled with Byrd to the Pole Although Fairbanks was actually their goal On a very dark night They turned left and not right Now their feat is for all to extol The Basenji A Basenji may giggle or snark Chat with pigeons it meets in the park From the moment it wakes Oh, the noises it makes! Just don’t ever expect it to bark The Basset Hound Is it sorrow in canine disguise? Is it pity empathic and wise? Or is it not either Nor sympathy neither But hunger we see in its eyes? The Beagle A Beagle is loyal but...dumb An endearing, affectionate chum Tireless and lean A hunting machine Just don’t ask him to chase and chew gum The Belgian Malinois (Mal) When the SEALS did their raid on bin Laden And caught him just when he was noddin’ ‘Twas a Mal wearing goggles With custom-made toggles Who helped put an end to fatwa-den
