Poem
Hunting is her game.. 'Lady' is her name Antics of a hilarious Basset hound! Lady was home alone All she had was her green plastic bone Her owners had gone out for the day And Lady really wanted to play Miserable, she lay on the ground with her long floppy ears With watery eyes, it seemed as though she was about to burst into tears Suddenly she perked up when she heard a squeaking sound coming from the house Lady became excited, she hoped it was a mouse She barked out loud and ran towards the sound Lady was such a clever basset hound With her long nose, she sniffed out the little mouse in his hiding place The whole morning turned into a playful ‘dog and mouse’ chase The mouse was too fast for her and escaped through a small crack in the wall He was terrified of this funny looking dog who stood two feet tall Exhausted, Lady flopped down in her basket to rest She had tried her very, very best She closed her eyes and had a long nap And dreamt that she managed to squeeze through the scary dog flap When Lady woke up, her throat felt dry She needed a gallon of water to drink and she alone knew why! The sun was shining and it was hot She found her bowl and gulped down the lot Lady looked at the new dog flap She lifted up one of her paws and gave it a sharp tap She took a chance and pushed herself through the gap Relief flooded through her, she had made it out of the flap Out in the sun It was time for more fun Lady headed to the beach It wasn’t far, within her reach Calm blue sea with the tiniest of waves Grottos and amazing caves Lady’s paw marks were all over the sand She loved to play by the sea and on land Cool air blew around her as she splashed around in the sea What a great feeling it was to be free The aroma of food was all around She was always hungry, this hilarious hound An ice-cream van was parked nearby Lady drooled and just stood by A young couple spotted the little dog sitting down on her own Her sad brown eyes caught their attention, they each bought her a cone Lady wished that she could shout She clenched both cones in her mouth She licked off the ice-cream and wolfed down the rest She felt so very, very blessed Lady sat and watched the beautiful sunset It was time to head home now, or they would fret She arrived just in time to see the big blue car pull into the winding drive Wagging her tail, she bounded up to her family who had given her every reason to thrive
