Starting off ever so fragile

Cute as a little teddy bear

So small in age

Who knew he could cause so much rage?

Growing like a weed

Double the size in under one month

Gaining a little mind of his own

Beginning to bite more than the bone.

Showing subtle signs of misbehavior

Running through the cornfield

Who knows if he finds a way out?

Making his owner pout.

Going potty where and when he pleases

Biting like a little alligator

Pretending not to hear commands

What will we do with this scoundrel?

My he is large like a baby elephant

Maturing ever so fast physically

The mind still has some work to do

What will we do with you, Duke?
