My Pal Murphy
My best friend is a dog named Murphy,
he has been by my side now for eleven
loyal years.
Murphy is such a strange dog,
lovable, but strange,
when a person gets the hiccups
people say boo, to get them to stop,
Murphy hates it when we get them.
So he starts to shake like crazy,
of course when we say boo,
it is even worse.
Never seen a dog get so ashamed
when he is praised, he puts his
paw out to you, he thinks he's
being punished.
Every time Murphy meets a new person,
he also puts out his paw to greet them.
He is scared to death of moths,
so when you say the word,
he starts to shake, he is
one strange dog.
Smartest dog I ever saw,
he knows who we are, so
even before we walk in
the door, if you mention
our names and say were
home, he will start to bark.
He may be one strange dog,
but he's my pal, love him
with all my heart and
would not trade him
for all the money in
the world.
