Herbie the little soul from Ohio

He was hardly recognizable
as a hound
left for dead somewhere
in some compound
ribs protruding every one
and his legs they were just bones
what had they done
his eyes were weeping
such a look of pain
dejection the poor soul
life in vain
no soul ever
should look this way
and e subjected
to such dismay
his little heart
must broken be
his little mind
cracked constantly
no feed no drink
his suffering was
really, honestly just because
a human neglected him
the picture vile
its really out there
by a mile
he didn’t have a place to go
and no one cared it just does show
how sad how forlorn he must be
the dear sweet darling boy herbie
