When God Made the earth & sky, the flowers and the trees
He then made all the animals, the birds and the 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 travelled 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 till the end,
I've turned my own name round for you and called you DOG my friend".
