THE LITTLE WRIGGLY DOG.

Kim wasn’t very clever, and he wasn’t big at all ? ; He was just a little wriggly dog, who, though he was so small,

Was quite a fierce protector, and when people .passed him by They’d go all carefully to see the look within his eye.

And when he went tip close to them the bravest heart would quail. Until he smelt that they were nice, and wagged his stumpy tail.

We used to go adventure walks—the kind when you explore, For thev said, “You mustn’t go alone, across the big moor.

But we don't mind a bit if you will always go with Kim, ' For though he’s just a Jittle dog, you’re always safe with him.”

But Kim got tired of chasing things. His spirit went, they say, To other happy hunting grounds, another world away.

And we wrote on a Httle stone (near wher e the roses grow): “This was a dear and wriggly dog who’s resting here below.”
