Our New Friend
My siblings and I wanted a dog
How fun to take him for a jog!
But not just any dog you see
We wanted a Labrador puppy!
We asked our parents gleefully
They talked and replied thoughtfully
"Care for this plant faithfully
Then come back and talk to me"
Day after day we tried our best
Cared for our plant, by their request
Naturally the day had come
The plant was dead, our dream was done
Seeing thus, hearts broke inside
We tried our best but the flower died
Dad came home and we told him the news
He said "Come now, a dog we'll choose"
We looked at each other all confused
We thought we'd lost, that flower passed
"No, you have won, it's fall at last!"
Off to the pound! We talked joyfully
A pet would join our family!
We've had this 'pup' nine years now
Our Labrador, a mix of Chow
Our sweet, and cuddly, joyful friend
We'll love him till the very end
