Roscoe

He will protect the house at all costs,

No one wants to upset him much,

Just let him alone with his human companions,

Let him love you when he is down,

Alone with everyone else that his heart desires,

He is free and unwary,

Sometimes he just wants to be by himself,

Twisting with an inward rage that only he can see and feel,

Flashing with complications of the canine kind and endeavor,

Let's see how far you can get with him,

The defenses will not go down at any cost,

Run away when he asks you to,

No sooner than that.
