One Person Dog

He can unfurl his big ears as if to fly fold them back if he's feeling shy My little black dog shadows my side for I belong to the little guy His tail is long and wags as he barks He can leap high and jump into your heart But no one else can touch him He won't have anything to do with them If company comes he yelps and growls His disposition seems really foul No one sees his sweet side Very few can stand this little guy He does not want anyone near me He barks and snarls till company leaves I have to grab him as he jumps about Hold him he freezes and shuts his snout But if he ever wiggles free his torrent of barking makes all flee No one knows his other side how I keep doors open so he's not denied To go where ever I need to be The little dog always follows me He eats with me and sleeps with me when gone he stares out the window waiting for me He even dislikes other dogs too the little guy loves me true If I ignore him too long He barks at me in a tone strong And leaps into my lap he curls himself to take a nap A one-person dog is my little friend I'll cherish him to the very end
