Duties to a master (personification)

Miranda Smith

Ever since I was a young pup,

I would always nip, yip, and skip,

And you would hold me close,

And rub my fur,

And speak to me,

And I would holler like your baby.

Training to work by your side,

To bring down the bad humans the reeked of sin,

Was a thrill and a pleasure,

To keep you and the public safe.

So as you hold me close,

And rub my fur,

And speak to me,

Remember that I will always nip, yip, and skip,

To keep you and the public safe,

Even after I have served my years.
