Little Lad and Big Dog

In the woods amidst the fog Were a little lad and his big dog Lost they were with direction at odds The little lad pawed and trudged through the sod With no end in sight to the little lad's fright Little lad panicked he'd be here all night So the little lad bawled and endlessly called But no one answered his piteous squalls Not a soul was 'round to hear such a sound So the little lad crawled and tried to recall Which way they came in on this so-called Adventurous walk of little lad and big dog And then little lad saw with loads of awe That mommy had found them with help of the law He thought she would scold and prepared to be told Of all the punishments his future would hold But mommy rushed to him, her joy uncontrolled She kissed his face, her fears untold And out of the woods amidst the fog Mommy took home little lad and big dog
