Herding Sport Information

"A WORKING DOG"

I've seen the Rocky Mountains
And the Gulf of Mexico.
The California Surfers
And palm trees in a row.

I've read the works off Shakespeare,
And seen Picasso's paint.
The sounds of concert pianists
And heard the bagpipes quaint.

And all of these have trilled me,
but not one could compare
With watching herding dogs a-working,
A single or a pair.

There's magic in each movement
That Mozart never had
And beauty in each turn,
That makes my heart feel glad.

There's science in each answer
Of every whistled tone,
That Newton never thought of
Nor ever was he shown.

There's feeling in the handling
That only poets know,
Or men that work with stockdogs
And feel the teamwork grow.

Wherever life may take you
In sunshine or in fog,
You'll never quite forget it
When once you've worked a dog
