Filbert

This is an original..... Filbert Finds a Friend By Randall Smith Filbert the Dog..... Lives up on a hill, under a tree, in a meadow...  Filbert can look and see all around The river and the town The sky so Blue With puffy clouds....everywhere... Filbert was soooo happy. He began to sing....   "Oh how nice today is, It's not rainy or cold. Oh how nice today is....The sun is shinning bright! and I am so happy.... Oh how nice today is I want to sing and play all day. long.." Then Filbert got an idea! Filbert hopped up and down On just one foot and spun around and around Faster and Faster... I wish....I wish...I wish I was at the river so far away and....................................POOF Filbert vanished! From this home up on the hill... Like magic....Filbert popped out of nowhere... Oh how wonderfull! It's the river, Filbert ran to the bank and looked into the clear running water. And what did he see? Oh my...it's me!   How could that be Filbert wondered... Is that really me?   Oh how fun it is to play with me by the rivers edge....   Filbert hopped all around and played in the water all day long....with his new found friend. Until the shadows grew long and the street lights came on. Oh my... It's late...it's late...it's late.   So, Filbert hopped up and down on just one leg and spun all around Faster and faster..... I wish....I wish...I wish.....that I was back home and …...................POOF!   Filbert was home snug in his bed... Yip, yipe yipe...I made a new friend today and it was me.....
