Genghis Makes His Mark

My little guy to my happy surprise is with me still and very spry His heart pills keep him ticking on personality of his still is strong He loves to growl and bark all day for him it is the way he plays the thing he loves most of all is when I scratch his chest he is enthrall It relaxes him and keeps him calm never enough keep scratching on and on The old guy walks the perimeter of the fence sniffs to know whose been whence About every couple of feet or so Genghis lifts his leg and lets it go He makes his mark to claim it all and mosey about walking tall Old Kublai used to follow him on his tail mark over his mark as Genghis he trailed As if he had to mask Genghis's scent with his own for Genghis's claim Kublai disowned I miss my Kublai they were a funny pair But now I have sweet Sassy dear She sits and watches Genghis from finish to start as that silly old boy, Genghis makes his mark.
