Black Sambo

Coat black with shiny, wet nose, Whiskery beard, and gleaming eyes of brown, Peeping out through long eyebrows With pink, panting tongue and a cheeky grin. All over black my Sambo was, With wavy coat, plucked short on top, A powerful tail just like a whip, He never was fooled, not missing a trick. Scottish Terrier, bred from Kennelgarth Great Scot, Loved us all equally and gave such a lot, We love him still, though many years since he passed, He's always with us, minding our backs.
