Ole Brownie (P1)

“Ole Brownie” The meanest and the best, Proven among the rest, My dog in Arkansas, pope county, I present, ole Brownie, With first cold front, Arkansans begin the hunt, Razorback hogs, with their dogs, Now my dog Brownie, Meanest hog dog in pope county, A sight to see, Even growls at me, A heinz fifty seven, Comes number seven of the eleven, Impossible to see, His pedigree, Though no pedigree, Visibly plain to see, He was the dog for me, By my shout of glee, When he was given to me, He was a handsome dog, Though he loved to hog, Part red bone hound, Mixed with feist clown, Would fight anything around, Twas very plain he wasn’t a coward, With teeth bared, Who’s hoss or boss, At any cost, Often declared, When disputes were aired, Ain’t no fibbing, Ears torn to ribbons, His ears` he had sacrifices, To his scrapping vice, Anyhow, to finish my story, Bout my dog of glory, ©.( “Razorback Hog Hunt”) 9-27-09 johnmosesfreeman@yahoo.com

Nice write, very descriptive about your dog, although perhaps he is the kind on should probably stay away from. :) Thanks for sharing, Caroline.

Wow, what a wonderful description you give of your "Heinz 57" dog. Pedigrees are overrated, Moses! My favorite dogs (and cats) are always of mixed blood. Seems like you raised him well to be a good razorback hog hunter. Very creative verse and truly entertaining throughout. I see there is a part 2. I will proceed to it! Love, Carolyn
