My dog can't..
My dog can’t fetch a ball,
like the able retriever
in throw, chase and return,
he is not a firm believer
My dog can’t round-up and herd,
like the competent collie
as he thinks chasing sheep,
is the height of pure folly
My dog can’t bark aloud
like the german shepherd
he’s more of a stealth guardian,
like a lazy leopard
My dog can’t smell a fox,
like the baying hound
he prefers his canine brother,
remain safe below the ground
My dog can’t scare a prowler,
like the powerful rottweiler
but I know he'd try his best,
despite being a wee fella
My dog can’t wear the mascot's cloak,
like the wolfhound Irish
he prefers to stay at home,
content within his own parish
My dog can’t see acutely,
like the graceful, roaming afghan
though when the sausages are cooking,
he keeps a firm eye on the pan
My dog can’t make himself look butch,
like the British bull dog
then he was not bred to bring down bovine,
or ill-tempered hog
My dog can’t preform the tasks as well
like the breeds I’ve named above,
for he’s just a little shih-tzu, but his heart for me is full of Love!
