The Yapper

He may seem small but soon you realize
That a beast within him does reside
Do not approach his space
Or he'll be yapping in your face

He likes to yap
           He likes to yap
                     No shutting his trap
                       My little doggie likes to yap

It's more than a bark starts as a growl
And he can yap nonstop for hours now
His tail is high his chest is stout
He yaps so hard it's like a shout

He likes to yap
          He likes to yap
                    No shutting his trap
                      My little doggie likes to yap

It really is personal and he makes it clear
With a howling screech that pierces your ears
He thinks he's rough acting tough
His yapping is really hot stuff

My little security alarm guards me well
No one can approach where I dwell
Cats run, other dogs confused
People smile believing his yapping a ruse

He likes to yap
          He likes to yap
                    No shutting his trap
                      My little doggie likes to yap yap yap!
