“Chow”


The man walks down his street
With his dog, Chow.
Big and black Chow is—
Foolish looking, and harmless.
Ugly Chow is—
Unkempt, but clean.
The man loves his dog nonetheless.

Young children make fun of Chow;
He is the children’s neighborhood joke.
Chow would be a good friend to the children,
If they only gave him a chance.
He is a very good friend to the man.
