When God had made the earth and sky
The flowers and the trees, 
He then made all the animals 
And all the birds and bees. 
And when His work had finished 
Not one was quite the same. 
He said "I'll walk this 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 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 to the end. 
I've turned my own name back to front 
And called you Dog, my friend."
