Jake

Now I know you've heard the stories About animals who are smart But here's a tale of a dog named Jake Who was a genius from the start Now, this dog could do anything He could even add and subtract He even starred in a broadway play And, man, that dog could act Now, nobody ever had to feed him For, he was even a gourmet chef Did I mention he was a teacher? He taught sign language to the deaf Now Jake was not just an ordinary dog He remembers everything he sees He has a photographic memory And he even knows the names of his fleas He wouldn't just bring your slippers He would put them on your feet That dog would even remember to flush And put down the toilet seat Jake even took the children to school And stayed with them, all day long He heard every word the teacher said And corrected her, when she was wrong Now, you probably think I made this up And, everything I've told you is fake But I'll bet you'll be surprised to know That this poem was even written by Jake
