Genghis Makes His Mark
My little guy to my happy surprise
is with me still and very spry
His heart pills keep him ticking on
personality of his still is strong
He loves to growl and bark all day
for him it is the way he plays
the thing he loves most of all
is when I scratch his chest he is enthrall
It relaxes him and keeps him calm
never enough keep scratching on and on
The old guy walks the perimeter of the fence
sniffs to know whose been whence
About every couple of feet or so
Genghis lifts his leg and lets it go
He makes his mark to claim it all
and mosey about walking tall
Old Kublai used to follow him on his tail
mark over his mark as Genghis he trailed
As if he had to mask Genghis's scent with his own
for Genghis's claim Kublai disowned
I miss my Kublai they were a funny pair
But now I have sweet Sassy dear
She sits and watches Genghis from finish to start
as that silly old boy, Genghis makes his mark.
