Short and irresistible
I stand up to your knees!
Always want to be with you
I may just steal your keys!

White, gentle, and cuddly
I only attack those snacks!
And when I’m done, I’ll kindly ask
For a belly and ear scratch!

All I want is lots of love
I’m super eager to please!
Your happy, loving, buddy
Is the adoring, cute, maltese!
