(age 8)

On the 1st day of Christmas,
A Poodle said to the Hound,
I think youre the top dog.

On the 2nd day of Christmas,
A Poodle said to the Hound,
Will you share the bone and
I think youre the top dog.

On the 3rd day of Christmas,
A Poodle said to the Hound,
Do you like the ornaments,
Will you share the bone and
I think youre the top dog.

On the 4th day of Christmas,
A Poodle said to the Hound,
Do you like playing ball,
Do you like the ornaments,
Will you share the bone and
I think youre the top dog.

On the 5th day of Christmas,
A Poodle said to the Hound,
Do you like me,
Do you like playing ball,
Do you like the ornaments,
Will you share the bone and
I think youre the top dog.

On the 6th day of Christmas,
A Poodle said to the Hound,
Do you like dog toys,
Do you like me,
Do you like playing ball,
Do you like the ornaments,
Will you share the bone and
I think youre the top dog.

On the 7th day of Christmas,
A Poodle said to the Hound,
Do you like your human,
Do you like dog toys,
Do you like me,
Do you like playing ball,
Do you like the ornaments,
Will you share the bone and
I think youre the top dog.

On the 8th day of Christmas,
A Poodle said to the Hound,
Do you like your backyard,
Do you like your human,
Do you like dog toys,
Do you like me,
Do you like playing ball,
Do you like the ornaments,
Will you share the bone and
I think youre the top dog.

On the 9th day of Christmas,
A Poodle said to the Hound,
Do you like playing catch,
Do you like your backyard,
Do you like your human,
Do you like dog toys,
Do you like me,
Do you like playing ball,
Do you like the ornaments,
Will you share the bone and
I think youre the top dog.

On the last day of Christmas,
The Hound said to the Poodle,
I like playing catch,
I like my backyard,
I like my human,
I like dog toys,
I like you,
I like playing ball,
I like the ornaments,
I will you share the bone and
I am glad Im the top dog.
