Once Upon a Time

once while sailing on the sea my sail boat sunk deserting me i treaded water as long as i could i needed something like a block of wood but just when there was no hope left just before my very last breath there came beside me and lifted me up a dolphin who would eventually shore me up. i named him flipper once while walking through the woods i got lost like only i could i did'nt know east from west and concluded i was in a terrible mess and to make things worse there began a terrible fire get out of these wood's was my greatest desire i was surounded by smoke and flames and i knew that this was the end of the game when then came running to my rescue a great black horse, i jumped on him that horse he took me straight to the barn away from the fire, away from all harm a boy came out and brushed his mane i thanked the boy who told me Fury was his name once when i was just a little boy my daddy got me a puppy dog a full blooded collie with papers and all after that nothing was good enough for me and my dog we went here and we went there the people they loved us everywhere when ever i talked it was like he knew what i was saying late at night while we look at the star's we would have conversations one night i had a diabedic sesure no one to help except my dog he knocked the phone off the reciever and dialed 911 my dog lassie saved me from certian death
