&lt;br&gt;
I talk to him when I'm lonesome like;&lt;br&gt;
And I'm sure he understands.&lt;br&gt;
When he looks at me so attentively,&lt;br&gt;
And gently licks my hands;&lt;br&gt;
Then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes,&lt;br&gt;
But I never say naught thereat.&lt;br&gt;
For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes,&lt;br&gt;
But never a friend like that.
