Smartest Duck Dog in the World
By
Kevin L Fairbrother

Old Bill had a dog he called blue
Claimed he was the smartest and
Best duck dog in the World and
Would give a demonstration to anyone who doubted

Bill was at the local with his mongrel bitsa Blue
When who should come in but his best mate, Reg
G’day Bill says Reg, see you have your mongrel at your feet
Blue might be a mongrel, Mate but he sure is smart

In-fact old Blue is the smartest dog in the world
Maybe we should put your claim to a test says, Reg
Any time any place you wish says, Bill
Ok, says Reg lets go down the river in the morning

With a mist on the river and a frost on the ground
Bill and Reg together with the mongrel dog Blue
Arrived for the show down to see how smart Blue was
For Bill was adamant that Blue was the best duck dog in the World

Blue had sneaked off down the river hunting
Whilst Bill and Reg prepared their guns
No sooner than Blue had disappeared, he was back
Sat at Bill’s feet wagging his tail and barking once

What’s with your dog says, Reg, that mongrel will scare the ducks
No way says Bill, I told you Blue is a smart dog, he is the best
He is telling me that there is one duck sitting on the river
So mate let us go and see if this smart dog is right

Bill and Reg together with Blue sneaked down to the river’s edge
Sure enough there was one duck sitting on the river
Bang, Bill shot the duck and Blue retrieved it from the river
Told you mate, the smartest duck dog in the world

Now the same scenario occurred many times
And Blue would sit at his master’s feet wagging his tail
Sometimes barking up to six times and each time
The barks corresponded to the amount of ducks on the river

Got to admit, Reg says that your mongrel is smart
And the proof is lying at our feet with a good bag of ducks
Told you says Bill, old Blue is the smartest dog in the world
Ok says Reg I agree, lets dress and wash them up

Now while Bill and Reg were dressing up the ducks
Blue had sneaked of again and was hunting down by the river
As Bill was putting the dressed ducks in a sack
Old Blue returned, not barking but running around in circles

Your dog gone crazy says Reg, what’s his problem
I might have to take back what I said about your dog being smart
Meanwhile Blue had stopped going round and round in circles
And had come back to Bill with a stick in his mouth

Blue was frothing at the mouth and placed the stick between his legs
He then began to hump the stick like crazy, He is mad says Reg
No mate Blue is the smartest duck dog in the world, he is the best
So what is that humping got to with being a smart dog

Bill looks at Reg, mate this here is one smart dog, the best
Blue is telling me that down on the river round the next bend
There are more ducks on the river than you can poke a stick at
So now do you believe me that Blue is the smartest duck dog in the world

G'day Kevin... now this is quite a yarn Kevin. It appears that us Aussies do have the smartest dogs in the world from the tales we hear around the campfire - Lindsay
