THE LITTLEST
DOG IN CLASS
A new dog stood
at the schoolroom
door,
shaking and
quite shy.
No one had seen
him there before.
The littlest dog in class.
His eyes were
wide
as he stood
on his toes
to accept his
training collar.
Could he make
it do you suppose?
The littlest dog in class.
He cocks his
ears
as he takes
his place.
He shakes a
stubby tail.
For such a serious
lesson,
such a comical
face?
The littlest dog in class.
Some dogs are
big.
Some dogs are
strong.
Some stoutly
stand apart.
But it's a hero
in pint size
that steals
my heart.
The littlest
dog in class.

I see the
children in the lane
They look like
friends, we'll have a game
They've got
a stick, oh boy, what fun
They'll throw it for me and I'll run
But someone
stops me,
I wonder why
their mother screams "Don't go near those"
Horrid Dogs,
come here, come close
They're dangerous-I'll
tell you why
They bite little
children and they die
All I can do
is watch and sigh
Cause now I
know that Pit Bull's don't cry
Mum cuddles me
up and says "My pet
We love you
dearly so don't you fret"
But I love everyone
out there
Why can't they
love me, I do care
I wish they
weren't made to pass me by
I'm a Pit Bull,
I don't cry
I sit behind
my padlocked gate
From early morn
til quite late
When I go out
it's on a lead
Is mine the
only heart to bleed
I'm held in
check as the world goes by
I wish the Pit
Bull heart could cry
There are some
dogs, and also men
Who cannot tell
a foe from a friend
So all of us
must bear the blame
Expected to
live a life of shame
Condemned, alas
and we know not why
All we know is we will not cry!
