Mooi versje

OVer de Basenji, hij klopt zo mooi


THE BASENJI â?? By Jeraldeen Crandall 1967

B is for Barkless, but not really mute.
They chortle and yodel, mutter and growl
I think they could talk if ever they learnt how.

A is for Agile, graceful and quick.
They jump like deer and play like a cat.
Who ever heard of a dog acting like that?

S is for Stubborn, yes they do have a streak.
Theyâ??ll coax and theyâ??ll bully till they get their own way.
Outsmarting a human is just part of their day.

E is for Entertaining, theyâ??re all hams at heart.
Ask them to play and theyâ??ll act like a clown.
Tell them to heel and theyâ??ll sit down and frown.

N is for Neat, a must in themselves.
They lick and they groom till each hair is in place.
If they think that you need it, theyâ??ll come wash your face.

J is for Jungle, natives and huts.
On the tombs of the Pharaohs their pictures are found,
And in Africaâ??s jungles theyâ??re the belled hunting hound.

I is for Me. An owner possessed,
I feed and I doctor, I worry and care.
And that doggone Basenji knows, when he calls, Iâ??ll be there.

Ik zie dat hij de hoge comma niet meeneemt
