Nat Johnson - Dog
If I had a dog, I'd call him to me
And we would forget about work and everything
And I would run and he would run
And I would call and he would come
If I had a dog, I'd tell him my name
And we would forget about money and everything
And I would throw and he would go
And I would talk and he would know
It's important to walk
There are friends yet to meet
My dog says "Forget about it!"
My dog says "Let's run in the woods"
I will run and he will run
I will call and he will come
A simple childlike song is grounds for hidden depth.
She's a poet, so you will notice how she changes "I would run" to "I will run" by the end. Craft!
"I would call and he would come" - the obvious choice of words, becomes, "I would talk and he would know" ... wow ...
And she's a poet, so this may not actually be about a potential canine. It can be about a potential mate, or a potential state of mind, or a potential potential.
