A Loyal Buddy

 

I talk to him when I'm lonesome,

and I'm sure he understands.

 When he looks at me so attentively,

and gently licks my hands;

Then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes,

but I never say naught there at,

For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes,

but never a friend like that!"

--W. Dayton Wedgefarth
