A Short Story In Verse

He was a guard dog And very good at his job, But one night he met a man Who had killing on his mind. The man was an assassin With a contract to complete, But the dog also had a job Which he took very seriously. She was the only witness In a very important case, She was also a detective So she knew what danger was. The night before the trial began, The killer made his move To take care of this witness So she could never testify. He crept softly through an open window, And slowly climbed the stairs, He drew his gun and opened the door, But a cyclone met him inside. The dog had been waiting With a growl deep in his throat, He threw himself at that killer And bore him over the rail. The witness drew her weapon And jumped up out of bed, She heard the screams and growling, And quickly went down the stairs. The killer lay quiet on the floor With the dog standing over him, "Hold him, Tiger"! she commanded "While I report this on the phone." The killer went to prison, The witness testified, So now this story is ending, I hope you, dear readers, are satisfied.
