Black Sambo

Coat black with shiny, wet nose,
Whiskery beard, and gleaming eyes of brown,
Peeping out through long eyebrows
With pink, panting tongue and a cheeky grin.

All over black my Sambo was,
With wavy coat, plucked short on top,
A powerful tail just like a whip,
He never was fooled, not missing a trick.

Scottish Terrier, bred from Kennelgarth Great Scot,
Loved us all equally and gave such a lot,
We love him still, though many years since he passed,
He's always with us, minding our backs.

Time Calls

Time calls me back home
                                                          Where Mother is Baking
                                                           Father,collecting the leaves
                                                          My older Brothers,putting together
                                                          a model airplane
                                                         Our poor of size Scottish terrier
                                                         barking at the mailman who brings
                                                        us the mail of the day
                                                        Supper on the stove
                                                        Then a trip through the White Mountains
                                                        while my Grandpa kindly drove
                                                        Time is now beckoning to me
                                                        and now I will let him in
