Face Up
I can no longer skip and jump,
Which makes me sad and blue
It also gives me the hump
When I look at you,
Vivacious, full of energy
Healthy and robust too
My, get up and go
Has got up and gone,
Left and ran away.
It is only proper
Every dog has its day.
So slow down, little puppy,
I can't keep up the pace,
It would cause embarrassment,
If I fell on my face.
