Dachshund Poem

God made a little dachsie

to brighten up our day,

He took a bit of sunshine,

Laughter, love, and play.

And rolled it up in a sausage shape

just right for a hug, with bright eyes full of mischief

set in it's little mug.

With little paws a pattering,

to take it here and there -

and a cold wet nose - but He thought,

"Oh, what about the hair?

Shall I make it long and silky,

or wiry, that's so sweet, or make it simple, and have it smooth

and satiny and neat?

And what about the color -

how can I pick just one?

Shall it be black, or red or brown

or dappled, just for fun?"

He pondered while He made the world,

And all creatures great and small -

And then the answer came to Him -

"OF COURSE! I'll make them ALL!!"

So remember that a dachshund

is special, from above His coat of many colors

is a sign of God's great Love.
