HAVING A BALL

 

There once was a doggie named Ari

A ball in his mouth he did carry

To play keep-away

Was his Game of the Day

Indeed,  it made him most merry!

SAME BREED-SO DIFFERENT

ALL IN A DOG’S DAY

Little lizard on the ground,

You crawl around and make no sound;
But you must leave a scent-filled trail,
'Cause my doggie does not fail
To sniff and snuff until her snout
Has found success and searched you out.
And then, oh, boy, the games begin!
She chases you outside and in -
You climb the fence, and she jumps up -
She's such a happy, busy pup.
You scurry up, then down you run,
To her the chase is a game of fun.
To you, it must be another thing;
Do you have little ears that ring?
A heart that beats out such a clatter,
A bird flies by, asks, "What’s the matter?"
Sees the doggie give full chase -
Decides to buzz doggie in the face -
When that deed’s done flies back to munch
Upon the lovely lizard lunch!

While doggie’s jumping up and down  

Wearing an unhappy frown.
