Puppy Gave Lawmen a Merry Chase
The sheriff saved the puppy and pocketed him.
His deputy laughed; was this a trick or a whim?
I think he’s going to be a buddy; let’s call him Jim.
I am actually taking this puppy to my friend, Tim.
Tim Henry, the one who solved the Templeton case?
Oh, yes, and you can come if you keep up the pace.
The puppy got down and gave both a merry chase.
They finally caught him, but it was quite the race.
How soon can we get there? Asked Deputy Trotter.
The darling puppy was panting like a thirsty otter.
I think I am keeping this pup for my granddaughter.
Said the sheriff, pouring into a cup some water.
