Ninja

Woof
woof, woof  
woof, woof, woof  
 
That's Ninja  
He's on lawn and  road patrol  
He's at his station    
at the living room window  
He's very good at what he does  
He takes his job seriosly  
and he performs his duties proudly  
and quite diligently  
ever ready to protect  
his master and his forever home  
   
Fortunately, I 've been warned  
about the men in big trucks  
forever stealing our trash  
and unwanted leftovers  
sitting curb side  
And the menacing looking  
school kids with evil intent  
passing by on their way to the bus stop  
He's especially warily suspicious of them.  
   
But the thing he hates the most  
is when the stray gray cat comes  
Sneaking into our yard  
acting like he practically owns  
 the grass beneath his feel  
And when the brat cat has the gall  
to climb on top of our front porch  
he goes into a dutiful barking frenzy  
insisting on going outside to get at it  
I just turn towards him shaking my  
head and say, "No, you are not going outside.  
How many times have I already told you  
you can't have that pussy cat?    
You never learn, do you?"  
He just licks his lips, stares at me and barks
