"Arf arf he goes, a merry sight, our little furry friend,

arf arf, upon the lamppost bright,
arfing round the bend
Nice dog, good boy, waggy tail and beg
Clever Nigel, jump for joy
because we're putting you to sleep at three
of the clock Nigel."

From 'In His Own Write' by John Lennon in '64.
I have this book--apparently it is worth much more now than I paid for it.
to clarify: I am a huge dog person, it's just one of the only ones
I remember.

It's not in great shape and I think it's like the 9th printing so I'm sure it's not worth much. But I'll never forget my excitement when I got it. Then I started reading the poems, LOL.
