Truly, more ornament than dog You are warmer than a fireplace when I enter a room A beckoning of comfort A cosy delight Time pulls you to the ground as you begin to stretch But as time stretches you You turn into an antique Old Humfry... We wonder if you are still alive at times And with paranoid anticipation We look for your heartbeat As you meet our eyes in reassurance Old Humfry... Now when I visit years past I'm always surprised at how healthy Humfry looks He still had years and years in him it seems. Until one day when Mother told me He has been dead for 2 years She had him stuffed and nobody noticed Old Humfry... A symbol of home You remain forever.

Humfry the dog
Truly, more ornament than dog You are warmer than a fireplace when I enter a room A beckoning of comfort A cosy delight Time pulls you to the ground as you begin to stretch But as time stretches you You turn into an antique Old Humfry... We wonder if you are still alive at times And with paranoid anticipation We look for your heartbeat As you meet our eyes in reassurance Old Humfry... Now when I visit years past I'm always surprised at how healthy Humfry looks He still had years and years in him it seems. Until one day when Mother told me He has been dead for 2 years She had him stuffed and nobody noticed Old Humfry... A symbol of home You remain forever.
