After I decided to cook/invent myself a dog
It was only a matter of finding the right ingredients
For its head I used a trail that I once walked when I was younger
Eyes I borrowed from a potato
(for they have many to spare)
My doggy's nose I got from a wise professor who said:
"A dog is never what he seems."
For ears was easy I grabbed two cobs of corn
(able to pick up those high pitched whistles, that only dogs can hear)
Paws was easy too
I took a break from working
And connected them to legs I stole from the last part of a race.
His sleek dog back came from my car (but going in reverse)
His bark came from a generous tree, who let me use its skin
and his tail
My doggy's tail came from a story I once read about a dog
made out of things.
