Genghis On Guard Duty

His ears peak up and his tail is straight The innocent pedestrian will meet his fate Within a blink of an eye The mighty Genghis flies With a yap of lightning glee And the grace of gazelle speed The poor person jumps in fright As Genghis continues to bark in delight Leaping and snapping within the fence The little black dog appeared from whence His tail is wagging his white teeth glare The pedestrian can only stop and stare An embarrassed chuckle and loose smile Genghis barks and barks constant and loud The person leaves on his way While Genghis yapping echos through the day The little tiger scratches the ground with hind feet Another unexpected soul met his defeat Tail in the air and one last growl Genghis guards his fence loud and proud.
