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.
