  1. (On my dog.)
    I have a dog and his colour is red.
    And I always fed him with milk and bread.
    One night when he was asleep in bed
    A rat came and he sat on his head.
    And thent he dog said he would kill the rat dead.
    So up he jumped and he bit the rats head.
    2
    This dog of mine is very good and fine.
    The sheep he will flock when I want to pick the maggots.
    And then I gave him a good feed of rabbits.
    When he is flocking the sheep.
    He doesn't fall asleep.
    like what other dogs do,
    when they are flocking sheep.
