Lester is a cheeky puppy
And very very cute
He likes to run and jump
And chase his ball in pursuit

He likes to have a sleep
After a big play
it really wears him out
his had a big day

Lester is helpful
He's an assistance dog you know?
He's really quite clever
but soon he will go

He was just with us for a while
until he was steady
to be a reliable guide
But now he is ready
