Ned
He was a beautiful Labrador
Crossed with God-knows-what.
The very first thing you noticed,
The one thing you couldn't help but spot
Was the point on the top of his head.
A very odd looking protrusion.
It made you take a second look
In case it was an illusion.
But it was real, that point, you see,
Protruding from the top of his head.
He was a very handsome boy,
Our loyal and lovable Ned.
He loved us unconditionally
From the very first time we met.
Protective and loving and always happy
(Except when he went to the vet).
Part Russian wolfhound we were told,
That's where he got his pointed head.
Extra room for his smart dog brain,
Our wonderful Lab cross ,Ned.
