RagsAnonymous - illustrated by Anne Kennedy

I have a dog and his name is Rags.He eats so much that his tummy sags.His ears flip-flop,And his tail wig-wags,And when he walks he goes zig-zag.

He goes flip-flop, wig-wag, zig-zag,

He goes flip-flop, wig-wag, zig-zag,

He goes flip-flop, wig-wag, zig-zag,

I love Rags and he loves me.

I love Rags and he loves me.

My dog Rags he loves to play.He rolls around in the mud all day.I whistle but he won’t obey,He always runs the other way.
