When God made the earth and the sky
The flowers and the trees
He made all the animals
And all birds and bees.

And when his work was finished
Not one was quite the same.
He said:” I’ll walk this earth of mine
And give to each a name.”

And so he travelled land and sea
And everywhere he went
A little creature followed him until its strength was spent.

When all were named upon the earth
And in the sky and sea
The little creature said: “ Dear Lord,
There is not one left for me!"

The father smiled and softly said:
“I ‘ve left you to the end.
I ‘ve turned my own name back to front
And called you Dog, my friend!”
