Topic: "Mazie is a Mastiff"

Jets60's recent ode to his dog got me thinking about our oldest pet.

Mazie is a MastiffJames McCormick, July 6, 2007


[Em]Mazie is a Mastiff, [G]full of love and drool


She [A]grooves upon the planet, [C]howls at sirens [B7]too


[Em]Scratches where it itches, [G]sniffs at stuff that stinks


[A]Finds the perfect spot to pee and [C]puddles she can [B7]drink


She [G]used to be a saucy wench so [Em]many years ago


[C]Playful and ferocious, a [D]canine dynamo . . . [D7]


But [G]lately she's slowed down a bit, there [Em]is no hurry now


Her [C]routine is perfected, no [D]changes are allowed.[D7]


She [Em]came from Mastiff Rescue, her [G]past a mystery


We [A]saw her picture on the web, for-[C]lorn as she could [B7]be


[Em]Lookin' like an empress [G]fallen on hard times


But [A]since she joined our family, [C]life has been sub-[B7]lime


She [G]used to be a saucy wench so [Em]many years ago



[C]Playful and ferocious, a [D]canine dynamo . . . [D7]


[G]Nowadays she finds a place to [Em]relax in the shade


She's re-[C]tired from her daily [D]squirrel chase crusade.[D7]


[Em]Many times I wonder, just [G]who did rescue who


An [A]excellent companion, [C]faithful fun and [B7]true


[Em]Fuzzy gentle giant, [G]couldn't ask for more


[A]Sounds like rolling thunder [C]snoring on the [B7]floor.


She [G]used to be a saucy wench so [Em]many years ago


[C]Playful and ferocious, a [D]canine dynamo . . . [D7]


But [G]lately she's slowed down a bit, there [Em]is no hurry now


Her [C]routine is perfected, no [D]changes are allowed.[D7]

Hi James,
Great stuff. Enjoyed giving it a go.
The line
"Sounds like rolling thunder snoring on the floor". Reminds me of my old dog. How She used to keep us awake snoring by the side of the bed. smile
