A diamond in the rough
Isn’t that tough
As he dances in the daylight
And even at night
He thinks he’s quite elegant
Ha! Like an elephant
His mannerisms aren’t too shabby
Pretty lazy like a tabby
His intellect isn’t book smarts
He’s got a gigantic heart
People think he’s quite gruff
This diamond in the rough

Thanks, but it was suppose to be terrible. 😉 Maybe it is “terribly” cute? Ha ha.
