Ode To Ratler
"Blockhead" Rowell


Ol' Ratler the pit bull was one helluva dog
Watched the house like a hawk, took rides on my Hog
He never knew a muzzle or chain
Behind a wood fence was his private domain
He barked at strangers that came too near
Others he watched, they had nothing to fear
More than a guard dog, he was my friend
But an ignorant neighbor brought his life to an end
Fed him some poison meant for a rat
Cops said, "there's nothing we can do about that"
Now I'm selling my home and leaving this town
But I'll be back
to find the one who brought Ratler down
