Little Lad and Big Dog
In the woods amidst the fog
Were a little lad and his big dog
Lost they were with direction at odds
The little lad pawed and trudged through the sod
With no end in sight to the little lad's fright
Little lad panicked he'd be here all night
So the little lad bawled and endlessly called
But no one answered his piteous squalls
Not a soul was 'round to hear such a sound
So the little lad crawled and tried to recall
Which way they came in on this so-called
Adventurous walk of little lad and big dog
And then little lad saw with loads of awe
That mommy had found them with help of the law
He thought she would scold and prepared to be told
Of all the punishments his future would hold
But mommy rushed to him, her joy uncontrolled
She kissed his face, her fears untold
And out of the woods amidst the fog
Mommy took home little lad and big dog
