I heard about Bruiser before we met
He was my Uncle Henry’s intimidating pet
The rest of the family was fearful, yet…
I was not afraid, for we had never met.
Bruiser has skin that is an amazing blue.
His teeth must number a hundred and two.
Has already had a man threaten to sue.
Because he chewed up his wife Emily Lou.
His teeth are something! I said to all.
They are so thick, pointed, amazingly tall.
I will stay away from him in this hall.
Bruiser chewed up a duck, purse and a ball.

In his chest, his heart to bare.
All the pain and sorrow there.
Fire! Fire! Everywhere!
Screaming! Crying! In despair.
Vailiantly dashing the flames he chased.
The fire melting his loves life, cotton and lace.
Scars to hide, upon his face.
Still Henrys quill went on to trace
.
"The Cross of Snow", a sweet sweet lay.
Of the wife he lost on that sad day.
His thoughts of Fanny would harken him.
And is now at rest, with his mighty pen.......
