Kedo
Kedo, I loved you
You were a lovely boy
Always ready to greet us
With a ball or a toy.
Always so happy
Always ready to play
With dogs or humans
But not whippets you say.
Don’t know the reason
He hated that breed
Think cos they’re small
With a great turn of speed
He was like a big tank
That lumbered along
Wasn’t built for speed
Just big and strong.
Now there is no face
At the front door now
No happy dog
Giving you a paw
All I have are memories
Of good days and bad
When he dived in a pond
Of mud which made me mad
Had many days that were good
He loved the sea
Swimming further than he should
Used to worry me.
But in he would come back
Looking so proud
His prize in his mouth
Barking out loud.
Kedo my lovely boy
Sleep now , no pain
Live in Dogs Garden
Til we meet up again.
Go and find Cassidy
Tramp and Fella too
Make yourselves special friends
Until I am with you.
