When God had made the earth and sky

The flowers and the trees

He then made all the animals

And all the birds and bees

 

And when His work was finished

Not one was quite the same

He said I’ll walk this earth of mine

And give each one a name

 

And so He traveled land and sea

And everywhere He went

A little creature followed Him

Until its strength was spent

 

When all were named upon the earth

And in the sky and sea

The little creature said “Dear Lord

There’s not one left for me”

 

The Father smiled and softly said

I’ve left you to the end

I’ve turned my own name back to front

And called you “Dog” my friend
