We think of him
as someone who
Attends to dogs
and cats;
Prescribes a
little medicine
And gives them
loving pats.
Who keeps them
from distemper and
From rabies when
they stray,
And boards our precious
animals
The weeks we go
away.
But seldom do we
realise when
We pay his
little fee
How hard he has
to study for
His medical
degree,
His knowledge of
our horses and
Our cows and
hogs and sheep,
And how he
serves in peace and war.
And who is there
to estimate
His everlasting
worth
As he devotes
his life to all
God's animals on
earth?
(James J.
Metcalfe)
