Jack Horne Poet Rhyme

Dog Tired

I pull a sledge in arctic snow,
The leader of the team, 
And rescue stranded people from
The mountain or ravine.

I help to capture criminals,
Or race upon a track,
I sniff out hidden drugs and bombs,
Go hunting with my pack.

I guide a person ‘cross the road,
And herd a flock of sheep -
I work so hard around the clock
(But only in my sleep…)

For Tanya’s Dog Gone Tales
16th June
