He looks so old to be so young,
With four short legs and happy tail
and ears that drag the ground,
With a crazy habit all his
own of sleeping upside down.
He gives love in abundance,
enough for me to share
With all the neighbours on the
block and much, much more to spare.
His dress is quite peculiar,
I'm sure that you'd surmise,
He wears a very elegant coat
but it must be twice his size.
Twice usual size, inside his chest,
is a heart that's made of gold,
God must have been in a jovial
mood when He made the Basset mold.
He's quite a clown by nature,
in looks and actions too,
He cheers you up when you are down
and loves you when you're blue.
And when you're ready for a romp,
he's always there to play,
This funny guy with wrinkled brow
is in my heart to stay.
