Poem
Ella Cuthbert lived with her husband John, in an age of twinkling stars; They had a little dog named Alfie, who loved riding in pretty, swift cars. Alfie was loved by those who knew him, as red flowers charm adorers; And he was the darling of their street, like rainbows, crossing borders. The Cuthberts had many interests, and on lazy days they were content, To rove summer streets with Alfie, wondering where blue violets went! Friends do not go out of style, as the glittery, memory stars, flash lime. They found fun activities for Fridays, when pearl moon began to climb. Funky family visited feature-rich evening, in faultless days of summer; Amidst feasibly fragrant, flambe flowers, swaying to sudden thunder. Ella lived in a house of barking, at motley windows of Alfie excitement, Where bluebirds and ruby butterflies met, on mysterious assignments. Sea salt added flavor to sweet breezes, on the street of Port Goodbye; That overlooked white sand and surf, where stars peeked, like a spy. Nervous night and day were newlyweds, at the dawn of fading dreams. Later filled with novelty and notions, and neighbors, amidst sunbeams. 'Mountain devils' bloomed wickedly red, in the beautiful Blue Mountains, Aptly shaped blue puya blooms, trumpeted sunrise, near cool fountains. Purple 'surprise lilies' were stunners, appearing abruptly the world over, When the rare 'parsley fern' was savored, like beautiful, coming closer. Eager Ella called Alfie one day, but was dismayed at getting no answer! Yet, a hole under their fence said a lot, like a scented, blooming planter. Crushed Ella and John went searching, like the spotlight of pearl moon. Though posters offered a reward, they felt anxiety, on the edge of June. Then woeful Ella finally uttered the words, that became a beloved rhyme; Like when riotous spring blooms come early, sweetly ahead of their time! After a week, Alfie was found at last, in the thrill of mockingbird evening; When a lady chanced to read his collar, when pink stars were convening! 'Oh, where, oh, where Has my little dog gone? Oh, where, oh, where Can he be? With his ears cut short And his tail cut long, Oh, where, oh, where Can he be? Oh where, oh where Has my little dog gone? Oh, where, oh, where Can he be?'
