When God made the earth and sky, flowers and the trees,
He then made all the animals, the birds and the bees.
When His work was finished, not one was quite the same.
He said, "I'll walk this earth of mine and give you all a name."
And so He travelled land and sea, and everywhere He went,
a little creature followed him until its strength was spent.
When all were named upon the earth and in the sky and sea,
the little creature said, "Dear Lord, there's not one left for me."
The Father smiled and softly said, "I've left you till the end,
I'll turn my own name back to front, and call you 'dog,' my friend."
