Poem
Little Davy wanted a puppy for Christmas His parents, though, were totally against it Davy whimpered and whined til he was breathless “Please,” he wrote to Santa, “bring a puppy, Mr. Clause” The big day drew closer and Davy said a prayer, “Please, dear Lord, let my puppy be there” He went to bed on the night before Christmas With hope in his heart and a tender kiss from Mom Bright and early the next morning, Davy arose and running, Went downstairs to the Christmas tree to see what was coming. The first thing he noticed was that the puppy was not there. He felt a tear sting his eyes but promised not to care. All the presents were unwrapped and all that seemed to be left… Was carrying out the wrapping paper to go into the trash bin. Davy knew it was his job to do this simple task and wasn’t asked When he began to carry the leftover wrappings to the kitchen. It was then, in the kitchen, that he noticed a familiar sound The sound of whimpering and digging beneath a cabinet there in the corner. Davy rushed over to the cabinet and began to pull at its doors. Out came a big black lab with one ear flopped over against its head. “Mom, Dad,” Davy screamed with excitement, “Santa left a puppy… He just left it in the kitchen cupboard, but it is there and it loves me!” Davy was grinning his biggest grin as Mom and Dad came in… “Well,” they began, “It looks like you have your wish.” Then they began To tell him all he had to do to care for this new member of the family. “You’ll have to feed him and walk him and take care that he stays warm” “You’ll have to care for him with all your heart and make sure you love him” “You’ll have to see that he has all his shots just like you had to have.” Davy laughed with surprise at the ease of all they said and smiled with such pride… That his puppy would be called Fred!!!
