A Borrowed Head
Curious of precious human wisdom,
a dog borrowed human body parts.
Head, acquired from a bush hunter.
Ears, loaned from a classroom teacher.
Legs came from a marathon champion
Eyes were got from a veteran soldier
Voice planted from a beautiful actress.
The new career was fresh and exciting.
It went up down streets boasting to others
yet the dog remained a dog in deeds;
it barked, talked not and hated kittens!
