Sirius black.

A black dog we named after the Dogstar. Coincidentally - namewise, he could be likened to a fictional character in the popular Harry Potter series. Initially a stray we occasionally fed and sheltered during inclement weather, he's now our house pet after an encounter with dog-catchers. As pampered as any dog with mile-long pedigree lineage.


Sirius black, dear mongrel cur
When rain pounded down, there you were
Shivering under molten skies
A pleading waif, beguiling sighs
Entered our hearts, then did not stir
Sirius black, dear mongrel cur.

Sirius black, dear mongrel cur.
You rule our lives, and know it, Sir!
Mealtimes revolve around you now
Drag us for walks, pulled anyhow
If you knew how, you’d surely purr
Sirius black, dear mongrel cur.

Sirius black dear mongrel cur
Threat to us your action will spur
Trotting beside us, keeping track
When suddenly thugs did attack
Leapt instantly, a formless blur
Sirius black, dear mongrel cur.

Sirius black, dear mongrel cur.
Shining, silken, oh so soft fur
I refuse to count passing years
Of losing you I stifle fears
Long life, good health I’d fain confer
Sirius black, dear mongrel cur.

Sirius black, dear mongrel cur.
Accepting foibles without murmur
Together joyful lives to spend
Some angels sent us a true friend
Our grateful thanks they e'er incur
Sirius black, dear mongrel cur.
