When god had made the earth the sky
the flowers and the trees,
he then made all the animals the birds and bees
and when his work was finished
not one was quite the same.
He said "Ill walk this earth of mine
and give each one a name:,
and so he travelled land and sea
and everwhere he went;
a little creature followed him,
until strength was spent.
When all were named upon the earth,
and in the sky and sea,
the tiny creature said,
"Dear Lord there's not one left for me."
The father smiled and softly said,
Iv'e left you to the end,
Ive turned my own name back to front
and call you DOG, my friend".
