Brown - Never Once a Bad Boy

In the cuddles of your memory I drown
You were a fluffy handsome breed
A personality brighter than brown
But your colour sealed your collar

In you this boy found a best friend 
Lessie became lesser known 
Your bark reverberated my childhood 
Wagging your tail never a frown

Both of us still wet behind the ears
You never learned a single trick
I could never train you to sit,
But you could sure fetch a stick

You had such a fast dash
Catching a bird brought much joy 
Nightly I prepared your dish
Brown, never once a bad boy
