The Stray

She took me for a walk today whilst off the lead I met a stray "how's about you come and play with me but wait, don't run away". "I'm not prepared, I'm very scared I'm living on the streets". Oh don't do that, we've got a flat ground floor and very neat. "That's very kind, I'm going blind can't see my way at all". (My luck is in), "you're very thin" "last meal I can't recall". No problem there as you can share my dinner everyday. "You really would? I really should be grateful come what may". Then say no more and to my door together we will scurry. Look forward to the day when you will never need to worry. "My gratitude cannot exclude your master and mistress If not for you and those two too I'd be in much more distress". We reached the car, I'd wandered far away from where we'd parked. "Where have you been? Oh,he's so lean". She wasn't all that narked. My mistress put upon the mutt her hand and stroked his head. She may say "no, he'll have to go" to the pound or worse, instead. "you poor poor boy now don't be coy I'll take you home with us. I'll feed you up, just like a pup. You'll share a bed with Gus........ that's me that is! Happy Ending.
