Canine Babel Poem by Sheena Blackhall

Albanian dogs go ham ham ham
Catalan dogs go bup
Chinese dogs go wang wang wang
They learn it as a pup

Slovenian dogs go hov hov hov
Greek dogs go wav wav
Ukranian dogs go haf haf haf
It's all the words they have

Icelandic dogs go voff voff voff
Indonesian dogs go gong
Italian dogs go bau bau bau
All notes of the same song

But British dogs go bow wow wow
Before they bite your leg
And if you have a tasty bone…
Why, they'll sit up and beg!
