Finalist in the 'Unleashed 2022' competition
My dog Jack is not fat
He’s quick to run and chase a cat.
Half Jack Russel and half Poodle,
Jack’s curly tail is like a noodle.
He loves to stalk a mouse
And protects our house
But on Friday movie nights,
Jack snuggles up to us tight.
When he’s worn out, it’s quite a sight
to see him make his bed at night
Rustling and wrestling the bean bag
till he gets it Jack right.
He’s a funny little clown
This Jack about town
Frolicking around at sundown
We love having him around.
