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.
