Night before
Christmas
My Rover is
near
He thinks
I don't notice
Those big
floppy ears
Holding his
stocking
Just waiting
for me
To put up
on mantle
I'm teasing
you see
Pretending
he's not there
I hear when
he groans
I think I
should stop this
He feels so
alone
Just one more
second
Then I'll
turn around
I'll say come
on over
He'll run
duty bound
He's always
so perfect
The best of
my friends
Heart that's
so faithful
His love never
ends
On Christmas
his stocking
All filled
with great cheer
His tail will
be wagging
Cause Santa
was here.
