Pudgy Wudgy Jammer (PJ)

People say I’m just all ears
that’s really far from the truth.
My joys in life – to run and jump
bark loud squeals of delight.
I have a great friend called buddy.
How unusual it seems
for the big, black dog
to take me under his wing.
We run, we sleep, beg for crumbs
play games like hide and seek.
My legs are short
on a sausage round body
I have no tail at all.
People think I’m just all ears
but my heart’s as big as the come.
I’m lovable and happy
when you get to know me
I’m just a Jammie inside.
