Two-Bits

I have a dog named Two-bits
Once had a dog named Dollar
Two-bits never comes when called
Not even when you holler.

Dollar was the better dog
Dutiful and gentle
Two-bits barks at his own tail
And might be slightly mental.

Lost a good dog, really miss him
He loved all the kids and kittens
Replaced him with a holy terror
Who killed the neighbor's chickens.

Come here, Two-bits, come here, come
Come-come-come-boy! Dammit come!
Here's your favorite squeaky toy!
Get your ass in here, you bum!

Sometimes the spazzed eccentric dogs end up the most loved!
