Topsy

` Topsy my poodle is a beautiful girl
Her coat is so black with a cute little curl
Her bark is so noisy but it�s worse than her bite
She�d run a mile to keep clear of a fight.

It�s one tin a day with a treat once a week
A nice bit of chicken or a dish of lean meat
She does�nt like biscuits and cake not at all
And the love of her life is her bright orange ball.

She�s really quite spoilt especially by me
But I can�t help it, I love her you see
She gazes at me with those great big brown eyes
She just has to have it, whatever the prize.

She�s been part of my life for ten years or more
I hope she�ll be with me for at least a score
