Kings of the Yard, the Khan Brothers

Little Genghis barks and rants Mighty Kublai trots and pants Everyone who passes by Sees the doggies jumping high In rhythm they leap and run The little boys are having fun Kublai friendly wants to play Angry Genghis chases strangers away Kublai mad at Genghis takes a bite Genghis screams in painful fright Like tiny grizzles without fear They snarl and growl teeth a glare Snapping leaping bodies collide They move quicker than the eye Suddenly Genghis will freeze and stop Than almost as if he hops Dances around like a clown Licking Kublai to calm him down Tails wagging they sniff and quit Genghis hugs Kublai around the neck The boys are happy and begin to play The strangers are forgotten as they fade That night they sleep side by side Kings of the yard my little guys.
