ODE TO MY CHANCIE-BOY

YOU WERE MY FIRST THAT MUCH IT THRU
BUT QUICKLY CAME MIKO,
THEN THERE WERE TWO,
FOLLOWED QUICKLY BY HARLEY,
AND THEN CAME THE THREE,
TAZ, ANGEL AND CASEY,
WHAT A MENAGERIE!

THE YEARS FLEW BY QUICKLY,
AND HOW YOU HAVE GROWN,
INTO A BIG BOY,
A BREED ALL YOUR OWN!

YOU WERE THE CARETAKER,
THE BEST BY FAR,
THE ANNOUNCER OF COMPANY,
BY FOOT OR BY CAR.
PUSHING UP TO THE FRONT
TO BE FIRST FOR A KISS,
CHANCIE-BOY
YOU SURELY WERE HARD TO RESIST.

MY GUARDIAN,PROTECTOR,
MY VERY BEST FRIEND,
YOU WERE THERE FOR ME
RIGHT UP TO THE END.
I KNEW WITH YOU HERE
I WOULD ALWAYS BE SAFE,
NO ONE COULD HARM ME
WITH YOU BY MY SIDE,
YOU’D JUST LET THEM KNOW
WITH
YOUR MOUTH OPEN WIDE.

THE BIG SOULFUL EYES,
ALWAYS WANTING TO PLEASE,
THERE WERE THE TIMES
THAT YOU SURE WERE A TEASE.
KNOCKING OVER THE PLANT
THAT STOOD IN NAN’S ROOM,
YOU’D RUN BY AND
SNATCH IT AND AWAY YOU WOULD ZOOM!

THE GALLOP YOU HAD
WHEN YOU SAW YOUR BOY,
THE “TALK” FOR THE FOOD
THAT WOULD SURELY ANNOY.
I WOULDN’T CHANGE ONE MINUTE WITH YOU,
AND AS I SAID THE TIME SURELY FLEW!

NOW WE HAVE PARTED,
I LONG FOR YOU STILL,
I KNOW YOU ARE HAPPY AND HEALTHY
AT LAST ON THE HILL,
PLEASE SEND ME A SIGN
THAT I DID NOT FAIL,
LET ME KNOW THAT YOU LOVE ME STILL.

I PRAY THAT SOMEDAY
WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN,
UNTIL THAT DAY MY FAITHFUL FRIEND…..

 

I LOVE YOU CHANCIE BOY,
