The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

I have a dog called Rex
A lovely dog is he
I'd really like to show you, but
He's invisible, you see.

He's part Alsatian
A guard dog, first class
If any intruder comes
He'll bite them, on the leg.

I have tried to teach him
Many old dog tricks
He'll stay, and walk, and heel,
But he just won't pick up sticks.

He's part Terrier
He chases squirrel and hare
But they just don't seem bothered
You'd think he wasn't there

He's very economical
I don't feed him a lot
Just a bowl of invisible food
And some water in a pot

He's part French Poodle
An affectionate sort of chap
When I'm watching telly,
He'll sit there on my lap.

I've had Rex for years
He followed me home one day
And as he's such a friendly thing
I thought I'd let him stay.

He's part Greyhound
The fastest dog in town
All of a sudden, woosh, he's gone
And then he's back again.

Rex ran off the other day
While I was having tea
So, if you should find an invisible dog
Just send him home to me.

Rex must be in my garden because I can't see him there.
