                             The Circumvolvin' Blues

My dog Shepehs don’t circulate like other doggies do;
He won’t go out and meet new pals and sniff strange pee and poo.
The only hinder parts he knows are at his nether end,
But his nose is short and what he seeks is always ‘round the bend.

Oooooooooooh,

Shepehs makes crop circles in the neighbors' yard and mine,
He'd make a furry yo-yo if I had a mile of twine.
I love my dizzy canine, he's a metapher fer hope:
He teaches me to persevere, to dog it and to cope.
His energy's unflaggin', his waggin' is unbound,
He shows me that what goes around will always come around.
He shows me that what goes around will always come around.
