Dog
The dog sat lonely in the dark
Its been here all day, sitting in the park
He came with a man in a large overcoat
Who sat on the bench and studied the tote
The man tied him tight to the bench leg
Then stood and left, that was nearly 10
Its dark now and the man isn't back
The dog is quiet scared of a pending attack
The dawn breaks for him over the hill
A young boy with his Dad called Joe and Bill
They saw the poor dog,tied up and lost
The boy asked the Dad why it was covered in frost
Dad takes off his coat and wraps him up tight
He's warm now and happy, no longer in fright
The bright lights of the surgery cause him to blink
He hears the vet say 'Oh what a stink'
The checks are over and he's found a new home
New bowl, new lead and a juicy bone
