CREATION


When God made the earth and the sky,
the flowers and the trees;
He then made all the animals,
and all the birds and bees.

And when the work has finished,
no one was quite the same.
He said "I'll walk the earth of mine
and give each one a name.

And so he travelled land and sea,
and everywhere he went;
A little creature followed him,
until his strength was spent.

When all were named upon the earth,
and in the sky and the sea;
The little creature said "dear Lord"-
"there's no name left for me."

The Father smiled and softly said:
"I've left you till the end."
"I've turned my own name back to front,
and called you "DOG" my friend."
