Show j The Ordinary Pup ! By DOUGLAS MALLOCH i IF SO a tellah will set down ' And think of all the dawgs Id town, The dawgs he knows, the black, the brown, He'll Hud the one that always sat Upon a cushion, slick and fat, Was not so good a friend, at that It Is the ordinary pup, Ko pedigree for lookiD' up, Tin for his platter, tin his cup, The ordinary pup you meet That gits about enough to eat, And knows the kids In ev'ry street, That meets you with a waggln' tall, Or watches by a dinnerpail, Or helps to land a crook In jail It's just the ordinary cur, Without no ribbons in his fur, That really has some character. And, If a fellah will set down And think about the men In town, The white, and, yes, the black and brown, He'll find the fellah that has stood Beside him like he said he would When times were not so very good Was not some shoutin' orator, More likely was some farmer, or Some fellah with some little store. Yes, dawgs or men, the friends you find, Unless you, too, are proud and blind, Are Just the ordinary kind. . 1S33. Douglas Malloch. WNU Service. |
