A Song Called “Look At This Dog”

I’m just a girl standing in front of a dog looking at its face

Drawing from a larger drawing in The Small Bow by Edith Zimmerman, a goddess

Look at this dog
Look at its face
Look at its tiny face
Look at its nose
Look at its ears
Look at its tiny face

Look at this dog
See how it runs
See how it has so much fun
See how it runs
See how it plays
See how it makes all my days

(children hum melody)

I know there are those who just don’t believe
That a dog’s face can bring so much relief
But they have never laid eyes on my babydog
I know that life can be cruel and unfair
But it doesn’t matter when I see her face everywhere

So
Look at this dog
Look at its face
Look at its tiny waist
Look at its fur
Look at its eyes
Look at its tiny face

Drink your water
Scratch on the door
When Daddy comes home
You pee on the floor
Your face is always in my mind
I see it everywhere
How do I deserve you
How do I dare

So -

Look at this dog
Look at its face
Look at its tiny face
