Friendship So Sweet

They play all day across 
the street,
combing the lawn with 
their swift feet.
What a friendship so cool 
and sweet,
between the Little Lad 
and his big Dog!

The big dog's teeth-- the 
lad employs,
to run errands; not 
tearing toys.
Peekaboo is part of the 
ploys
bonding the little lad and 
his big dog.

The dog was young but 
now is old;
so big, brawny and very 
bold;
a blanket shared, when 
times are cold...
warming the little lad and 
his big dog.

They yawns and pray 
when the day breaks,
and eat together...crumbs 
and cakes.
Ready to give it all it takes;
cheers to the little lad and 
his big dog.

Friends forever-- both 
day and night,
in bark or bite; He treats 
her right.
It's fun when'er they 
feign a fight...
Behold the little lad and 
his big dog.
