Grumble and Growl

Oh little Banjo not a peep he made As a pup he was all cuddles and shade But now he's an elder with a license to scold His bark's turned spicy and his manner quite bold! He used to frolic with glee and zest Now he'd rather just sit and rest But dare to disturb his precious nap He'll give you a piece of his grumpy yap! Banjo the grumpy old dog with flare Snarling at sisters with hardly a care His back legs ache but his spirit's tough "Get off my lawn!" he barks rough and gruff Those sisters try to nudge and play Banjo's response? "No way not today!" He's king of his corner don't dare intrude Old age hasn't softened his sassy mood If looks could growl well Banjo's might With a side-eye glare that could give a fright But deep down he's sweet just covered in gruff A softie inside though he acts so tough Banjo the grumpy old dog with flare Snarling at sisters with hardly a care His back legs ache but his spirit's tough "Get off my lawn!" he barks rough and gruff But let's not forget he's wise and sweet Under that growl a heart beats neat He might be grumpy but we all know It's just a show for Banjo's glow Banjo the grumpy old dog with flare Snarling at sisters with hardly a care His back legs ache but his spirit's tough "Get off my lawn!" he barks rough and gruff Here's to Banjo our cranky old friend His bark's worse than his bite in the end From quiet pup to a dog with sass Banjo's the boss in his own masterclass!
