Sparky the Fire Dog
Official mascot of the National Fire Protection Association
Here's a poem I think Sparky made upThe dogs once held a meeting,
They came from near and far,
Some came by Greyhound busses
While others came by car.
Before they stepped inside the hall,
and allowed to take a look,
They had to take their rear ends off,
And hang them on a hook.
They all walked in, one by one,
Each Mother, Son and Sire,
But no sooner were they seated,
When someone hollered "fire!"
Up they jumped and out they ran,
but had no time to look,
So each just grabbed a rear end,
Right off the rear end hook.
They got their rear ends all mixed up,
It made them awful sore,
To think they'd lost the rear end,
They'd always worn before.
And that's the reason why, you see,
On any city street,
A dog will stop and swap a smell,
With every dog he meets.
And that's the reason why a dog
will leave his nice fat, juicy, bone,
To smell another rear end,
In hopes to find his own.....
