Bobby Jo Gets a Dog
Bobby Jo went downtown
to look for a dog, no dogs
to be found, she walked up
and down the street looking
for strays, none in sight.
She then took the # 44 bus
to the dog shelter, she really
needed a dog to keep her
company. When she got to
the shelter, she heard them
say, sorry Bobby Jo, no dogs
here today, just cats and rabbits,
oh dear, oh my she told them
what would I do with a cat?
I sneeze my head off whenever
I get near them, and rabbits
are too messy to take care of.
Well they said try the Northbridge
shelter down on YoungFileld Drive,
oh me, oh my that is clear across town,
I will have to take the # 38 bus to get there,
but Bobby Jo you can't take dogs on
the bus, you can't she said to
them, why no you can't,
you will just have to get someone
to take you there and bring you home.
Well she told them I will just go see
what they have there.
Bobby Jo was on the bus
for almost an hour
the shelter was getting
ready to close down for the day.
She only had time to look
for a short while, no small
dogs,no short dogs, or tiny dogs,
only big dogs, large dogs and huge dogs
is what they had.
So Bobby Jo went and caught the bus
and went home very discouraged.
She got off the bus and walked up to
her house and there on her door step
was this real little and very tiny dog
just sitting there in this small cage
with a note that said, Hi Bobby Jo
I heard you were looking for a tiny
dog, or even a very small dog, well
this dog is just right for you, his
name is Tiny and he
is a very good dog and
so well trained just for you.
So Bobby Jo had found a dog
that was just right for her,
and she was one happy woman
and so was her tiny dog
whose name really fit him.
