My Best Buddy, Beary

I talk to him when I'm lonesome like; 

and I'm sure he understands.  

When he looks at me so attentively, 

and gently licks my hands; 

then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes, 

but I never say naught thereat.  

For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes, 

but never a friend like that.
