Creation

When God had made the earth and sky

the flowers and the trees,

He then made the animals

the fish, the birds, and bees.

And when at last He'd finished

He said I'll walk this world of mine

and give each one a name.

And so He traveled far and wide

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 no name left for me."

Kindly the Father said to him

"I've left you to the end.

I've turned my own name back to front

And called you DOG, my friend."
