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.....
