STRANGE DUET
Goobers new friend was just a pup
Because his mothers milk dried up
We brought him home six weeks old
We gonna feed him as we were told
Canned milk out of a babys bottle
Not for long, the pup didnt dawdle
For he immediately started to grow
How fast or how much we didnt know
Big and clumsy as an old cowpoke
Named him Festus like on gunsmoke
Seemed not to miss his momma much
Goober took over,had a magic touch
He sleeps with him so hes not cold
Early in the morning out he rolled
Brought back a rabbit for his pup
As Festus grew he couldnt keep up
Festus's breed was English Mastiff
50 lbs of dogfood was only a whiff
So we helped Goober feed his friend
Goober taught him how to howl then
Have you ever heard a houn'dog bay
Their duet sounded funny,I must say
Funny to see and to hear them sing
Festus Was hugh,great big old thing
He weighed 300 lbs.at a year,or so
Goober's small,20 pounds he may go
Big and little together,pretty soon
In harmony they howled at the moon
