A Stump For A Tail
You can’t buy loyalty, they say
I bought it though, the other day;
You can’t buy friendship,
tried and true,
Well just the same,
I bought that too.
I made my bid, and on the spot
Bought love and faith
and a whole job lot
Of happiness, so all in all
The purchase price
was pretty small.
I bought a single trusting heart,
That gave devotion from the start.
If you think these things are not
For sale, buy a
brown-eyed puppy with
A stump for a tail.
