A Bit Of Imperfection
Or
(Reality Check 101)
Hi, my name is Goody
my "mom" named me for the blimp,
I am not very pretty,
and I travel with a limp.
My nose is long and pink, and
my big ears flop, you see,
But I get around just fine
though for legs, I have but three
I'll never win a prize
nor enter that famous "ring"
But I'll love you with all my heart,
and that's an important thing
You see, I am so very happy
as I leap and spin and run
and scatter leaves and cats and such
in true, typical Boston fun
I love to fetch a ball
and romp with all my friends
Climbing stairs I've mastered,
and jumping, well, that depends
But love me as I am;
my heart is strong and true,
I'll try my very hardest
to do most anything for you
So, just lean over now a bit;
I'll leap into your arms,
Wash your face, make you laugh
and dissuade you with my charms
I wiggle and await your voice
to come bounding when you call,
Cuz when it comes to lovin'
I'm not handicapped at all.
