Aslee p he w heezes at his ease.
Heonly wakestoscratchhisfleas.
He hogsthefire, he bakes his head
Asifit werealoafofbread.
He’sjust a sack of snoring dog.
You canlug hi mlike alog.
Youcanrollhim withyourfoot.
He’llstaysnoring where he’s put.
Take hi m outfor exercise
He’llrollincowclap upto hiseyes.
He will not race, he will not ro mp.
He saves his strengthfor gobble and cho mp.
He’ll work as hard as you could wish
E mptyingthe dinner dish.

Likea miner,intosleep.
