Boldly soldier shemaghed scarf
Ammo railed full masked buff
Middle East catwalked explosions
Judge clowned judgement of jud
Little girl drank a cup of wuff
Beloved siblings danced a lot of goof
Bang bang bang forever prank
Clang clang clang coffins emerged
Pweeze wet me expwain, officer -

Dog Gone Languages
All dogs bark except the Dingo
Humans think they know the lingo
But truth be told – reality
It’s a different sound in each country
In Arabic – hau-hau, how-how
Armenian – haf-haf
In Cantonese – wow-wow, wong-wong
Bulgarian – jaff-jaff
In English it’s arf-arf, bow-wow
In Malay it’s gong-gong
The Germans hear wuff-wuff, vow-vow
The Thais just hear hong-hong
I’d give you more but that’s enough
You need to know this other stuff
Dog barking has one common vice
A dog will always speak it twice
No matter how we hear the bark
Between two dogs it hits the mark
They seem to understand all others
Better than we do our brothers
