Look at me and you’ll agree
I am not a pedigree
I’m in fact a simple puppy
I don’t have a family tree.
On a dog show where I went
Judge was screaming: “Shush, my friend!
You look kind of yippy-yuppie!”
Guess it’s not a compliment.
“Oh! Your ears – too long and fluffy
Boy, your tail? Too short and lame
Did you say your name was Duffy?
Are you kidding? Now I’m laughing!
That’s an awfully silly name!”
So we went back home with Tommy
Gloomy, low, unraveled, sad
Tommy scratched my back and tummy
Caring for me Tommy said:
“This is not what it’s about!
Ears and tails and looks and breed!
When you love your heart is out
For the one you truly need.
Here my Duffy! Duffy! Sit!
Love is love and this is it.”
