A DANCING DOG

A DANCING DOG



I wish that a dancing dog
I get as a present
Among the birthday gifts that
Will to me soon be sent.

Why I wish a dancing dog?
Well, I’ll open a school,
To teach dancing, along with
My doggy with a drool.

I will buy a hat for him
And a golden stick too.
For each of his two hands, I
Will buy diamond rings two.

Around his slender neck I
Will put a silken tie.
Just to touch and adjust it,
All of my friends will vie.

I and my dancing dog will
Look always so special.
The dance by me and my dog
Will be a spectacle.
