My Raggy – Shaggy Dog

My  Raggy – Shaggy Dog

E.     Lewis

Have  you seen a little  dog

                   Any where  about ?

 A   Raggy dog  , a shaggy dog , 

                Who’s  always  looking out 

For  some fresh  mischief  which he 

                 Thinks he really  ought to do .

He’s   very likely at this minute ,

                Biting  someone’s shoe.

  If  you see  little dog ,

                 His   tail up in the air ,

A  whirly  tail, a curly  tail,

                A   dog who doesn’t  care

For  any  other dog he meets ,

             Not  even for himself ,

Then  hide your mats  ,

                             and put your  meat

              Upon the  topmost  shelf.

If  you see a little  dog ,

             Barking at the cars ,

A Raggy  dog , a shaggy dog ,

                    With  eyes like twinkling  stars ,

Just  let me know  ,for though  he’s bad ,

                                        AS  bad as   bad can be  ,

I would not  change that dog  for all

                                       The treasures of the sea !
