Bart and Jessie

My dog Bart is mad

When he’s out for a walk with dad

He always jumps in the sea

No matter how high it may be

 

He has a girlfriend called Jessie

Who also gets rather messy

But she stays on the beach

Where the sea’s out of reach

 

Jessie often gets her feet wet

But hasn’t ventured in yet

Bart has tried to coax her in

But I’m afraid I’ve yet to see him win

 

Bart and Jessie get on so well

They’re years apart but you couldn’t tell

Bart’s eleven and Jessie’s one

But you can’t tell when you see them run

 

Bart and Jessie best of friends

They love to play together

They meet for walks night and day

No matter what the weather

 

Bart and Jessie hard to part

They took to each other from the start

They go to the beach or park each day

And for an hour they run and play
 

In memory of Bart –  1990 – Aug 2005
