The dog next house
keeps watching my house
when I am in
and when I am not.
Not anything terrific it looks
it being a skinny little dog
very alert and shrewd
From morn to-night
it lies near my gate
ever on the look out.
Anyone could push him out
as he is weak and bony
but still the fear of the dog
keeps them away from coming near
making my house well protected
while i live in a peace and harmony
with no modern equipmentslike alarm
but in touch with a friendly dog
who for no single penny
guards me from assailants.
