Welcome Home…
Content to stand alone
Waiting, watching, guarding Granny’s home
His face reflecting simple joy
But he is not a happy Plaster boy
“Careful sonny, not too close
Unless you want a lethal dose
of hardening…hardening”
Patiently waiting for some shade
Wishing he could run away
Supressing any urge to roam
Such devotion from a little gnome
�I once saw a calico that thought he could fly
And then the lanky Doberman that tinkled in my eye
A pacifist by nature, with amble common sense
But if I had my druthers, I’d druther be a fence
Now Granny, she’s a good one, she shines me now and then
And come around this springtime, I’m due for paint again
On keeping Granny comfy, I try and earn my keep
I’m just wishing I had some eyelids, so I could get some sleep…
Sleep…”
