We have a brand new puppy,
And Scruffy is his name;
My wife got him for Mother’s Day,
From the R.S.P.C.A. he came.

His breed is indiscriminate,
A Shih Tzu cross they said;
But crossed with what is a mystery,
“A Suburban” Terrier? inbred?

His previous owners left him,
At the Dog’s Home in a pip;
For the poor little puppy dog,
Had a broken hip.

The Vets there at Yagoona,
Certainly did the trick;
For they really fixed his hip right up,
And he mended pretty quick.

He is only three years old,
So he’s really still a pup;
And we thank the R.S.P.C.A.,
For the way they fixed him up.

I have lost my rocking chair,
Which really is a shame;
This sweet little puppy dog.
Claimed it when he came.

He’s a lively little fellow,
With a playfulness that lingers;
As he tears madly round the house,
And tries to chew your fingers

But we love the little feller,
And give thanks to Him above;
For this lovely little bundle of joy,
Who gives us so much love.
