Brandy is a beagle br I've said a lot already br When you eat a tasty morsel br She can hold your gaze quite steady br br Her eyes plead quite insistently br She only wants a little taste br Even if it's just a fallen crumb br That else would have gone to waste br br Once you give her her heart's desire br Do you think that will stop her yearn br If you responded in the affirmative br Then you still have much to learn br br She can smell a muffin br From miles and miles away br Leave it unguarded for a second br She thinks to herself 'Ole' br br And when you return from your very brief jaunt br She will look up at you most innocently br Her dark brown eyes will stare at you br Not a single crumb in the vicinity br br If she walks by a great big dog br She doesn't say a single word br Until she's safely passed it by br Then she barks like you have never heard br br Teaching her how to use a dog flap br Does not always go as planned br You know that food will do the trick br But remember, Brandy is not bland br br You place her gently outside the door br Then as you bend down to place the food br Her head bursts through, ears all askew br Oddly enough she's in a hungry mood br br Her excitement when going on a walk br Cannot be surpassed br She may be greedy and disobedient br But she is a lovely little lass br br (Sydney, Australia - 2003)br br Alessandra Liveranibr br
