• I am the dog of my honorable father
    I am the servant of my kind loving mother
    I am a slave to the sky and the sea
    I am a part of the land of the free
    I am a son of the omnipotent Master
    I am a daughter of pain and disaster
    I am the vessel of a heathen Lord
    I am the creator of a make-believe world
    I will one day my own master be
    And then I will own a dog just like thee.
