There was a cute puggle who snored up a song
When joeys hopped up bridging along,
Emu chicks joined with boom notes and grunts
Whilst dancing along with top wild stunts.
Penguins marched in forming a line
Tenors, Sopranos, Divas divine,
Bowerbirds trilled with whistles and squeaks
Then Aves had united with many techniques.
Ensemble was formed by powered forte
Rhythms caused riffs to encore that day,
And all this occurred when music was free
From snores made a song a large symphony.
I held a dream, a dream come true,
I felt a gleam, a gleam for you.
I knew my world would twist and turn,
my heart grew and swirled as my fever burned.
I craved a snuggle, a snuggle with sprinkles,
I gave you a Puggle, a puppy with wrinkles.
I had a feeling you always wanted such love,
you named him Mugsy, a Beagle and a Pug.
I fell in love, a love forevermore,
I called cupid above, to always adore.
I sincerely admire your respect for me,
I’m clearly inspired from your piety.
I held a need, a need for you,
I knelt in creed, a creed so true.
I’ve fallen in deep rooted admiration,
I called on sweet cupid, our true salvation.
