Content to stand alone
Waiting, watching, guarding Granny's home
His face reflecting simple joy

But he is not a happy Plaster boy
"Careful sonny, not too close
Unless you want a lethal dose

Of hardening..."
Patiently waiting for some shade
Wishing he could run away

Supressing any urge to roam
Such devotion from a little gnome
I once saw a calico that thought he could fly

ANd then the lanky Doberman that tinkled in my eye
A pacifict by nature, with amble common sense
But if I had my druthers, I'd rather be a fence

Now Granny, she's a good one, she shines me now and then
ANd come around this springtime, I'm due for paint again
On keeping Granny comfy, I try and earn my keep

I'm just wishing I had some eyelids, so I could get some sleep
