A DOG AND A KID

    No one will invent and no one ever did
    A happier pair than a dog and a kid.

    For doubt can't bedim nor can worry befog
    The gay zestful way of a kid and a dog.

    Athrob with adventure, their hearts beat as one,
    Their pulses resurge with the rhythm of fun.

    They swing into action as impulse may bid,
    "Today is the day" for a dog and a kid.

    Oh God, clear the pathway along which they jog
    And smooth out the bumps for a kid and his dog.

    And make the world that they wander amid
    A place truly fit for a dog and a kid.
