You silly colorful Jelly Bean
With an aura of red, yellow & green
Your “forever” will take you for a “cheeseburger- no onion”
And they will laugh when they see that you’re the “fun one”
They’ll pack your cookies in a neat little row
And say “Come on you cute little nugget, it’s time to go!!!”

A special volunteer wrote this poem for Lager
That wet little nose
Picture? Whaaaaat? Strike a pose!
Little big of pale, amber and dark
Effervescent with a soft enthusiastic bark
Well balanced and a little fruity
My forever will “burp” you’re my “sought after brand of cutie!”
