Zeke the Streak
by Lee A. Hart
"Pardon me sir, I heard there was some commotion here. Did you see what happened?"
"Yas, I daid! I's deliverin' a package to that there house. When the door opened, this THANG come after me. All teeth and claws, it was! I grabbed my bal, err... box and yelled, "Look out!" But it was too late. He shot right 'tween mah legs and out the door. He was after a squirrel! It runned up a tree, an' sat dere laffin' at him."
Here he comes... there he goes!
He's just chasing his nose.
That's why we call him the Zeke.
Fastest thing on four feet.
When it's time for a run,
He just does it for fun,
Or to catch him a treat!
"Pardon me sir, it seems there was a disturbance at the park. Did you see what happened?"
"Yas, I daid! I wuz drinkin', err... eatin' muh lunch when this MONSTER come after me. I jumped up on th' picnic table and yelled, "Look out!" But it was too late. He grabbed my weiner right 'tween muh buns and run off. I yelled, "Come back with my hot dog!", but he gobbled it down faster 'n the gov'ment spends money."
Here he comes... there he goes!
He's just chasing his nose.
That's why we call him the Zeke.
Fastest thing on four feet.
If there's food to be had,
It will drive him half mad
To get something to eat!
"Look! Here he comes agin! And whut's that chasing him? Why, it's a big yaller pussy cat! That dawg ain't dangerous; he's a chicken! C'mere, fellah; I'll pertect ya."
Here he comes... there he goes!
He's just chasing his nose.
That's why we call him the Zeke.
Fastest thing on four feet.
If there's danger around,
He is not to be found,
So just watch his retreat!

This one is about Zeke, our Springer Spaniel. It's was inspired by an old Ray Steven's song, "The Streak".
Zeke is the world's friendliest dog, and about as effective a hunter as Elmer Fudd. He has dedicated his life to "food" in all its forms (dog food, people food, things that might be food, that were once food, or that came near food, etc.)
