Charlie Brown Poem by Francis Duggan

Charlie Brown the labrador puppy is as strong as an ox one might say
Whilst out walking when he see other dogs he pulls towards them wanting to play
A handful for Shane and for Lisa most puppies it would seem are that way
But with lots of good training and patience he will make a good dog one day.

A light fawn his brown eyes are so full of kindness he is such a beautiful boy
Though like most puppies he is mischievious and the things puppies do he enjoy
He chews on the legs of the plastic chairs just part of his growing up 'twould seem
He is such a bundle of energy and he does not lack in self esteem.

I like labradors they are such good dogs with other dogs they seldom fight
And they are not known to be vicious with people so friendly and quiet
As guides for the blind they are renowned to their calling in life they are true
To their credit they are faithful, intelligent and loving and credit where credit is due.

A bundle of energy Charlie and a handful for Lisa and Shane
But he will grow into a good dog since labradors are not hard to train
A beautiful golden boy with brown eyes with so much love in him to give
And he will be true to Shane and Lisa for even as long as he live.
