Country Dog

If a country dog could talk 
What would he say?
His nose has explored the great outdoors,
Always smelling unashamedly.
A country dog knows everything,
So many things he wants to tell you.
There’s a brand new colt in the neighbor’s barn,
And baby bunnies in the thicket.
If a country dog could talk 
He would tell you all the things he knows.
There’s a row of beans sprouted in the plot.
Catfish are jumping in the pond,
Where the hedgehog lives down in the bog
And broken bottles at the old dump site.
A country dog’s knowledge is beautiful.
