Little Puppy

Little puppy

liked to play,

but near his mama

he would stay.

Little puppy

liked to run,

biting mama’s tail

was real fun.

Little puppy

loved a naughty kid,

he would jump

if kid would skid.

One day puppy was

playing with the kid,

they were juggling

a big sauce pan lid.

 The lid rolled

and rolled away,

puppy chased and

went far away.

He then looked for

his mama dear,

but she was not

anywhere near.

Puppy got scared

he began to cry,

kid got upset but

he wouldn't cry.

Kid was fearless

he looked around,

but puppy’s mama

couldn't be found.

 Kid was one who

wouldn't give in,

puppy’s mama was

behind an old cabin.

Puppy’s mama

was lost in sleep,

she couldn't hear

her puppy weep.

Kid signaled

and softly called,

puppy didn't move

he lay sprawled.

 Kid picked him up

as if he was a doll,

he tried to wriggle

was about to fall.

 But kid was caring

he didn't relent,

behind old cabin

with puppy he went.

Puppy saw his mama

and jumped with joy,

 he gave her a hug

and thanked little boy.
