Sammy and Spence-Nursery Rhyme

Sammy, a big eared puppy, liked to lay in the sun
but playing in rain puddles was a lot more fun.
He was never afraid when he heard thunder roar
because he knew that soon, rain drops would pour.

Sammy looked out and saw the sky getting dark
He wagged his tail, then heard another puppy bark.
He ran outside when his owner opened the door.
When he let out a howl, the pup barked some more.

They talked for a while through the back yard fence.
Sammy learned his new neighbor's name was Spence.
Soon, Spence asked Sammy to be his best buddy.
Together they played in puddles, getting very muddy.
