Sunny In Hocking Hills, Ohio

*Sunny at Hocking Hills, Ohio* There he goes! Dashing across the prairie like a hound dog He is a lightning bolt He is a wonder He is my small white dog full of energy Galloping across the tall rye grass with not a care in the world We come here to relax and collect our thoughts We come here to remove ourselves of the pressures of the world A log cabin, steaks, historical movies and our dog Sunny is the child we never had between us There he goes! Dancing amidst the tulips and daffodils That was a million years ago And now our lives are so different Sunny craves his time away from home too Now he goes in the back yard chasing squirrels and birds Howling at the first hint of their arrival He’s my little mixed breed He’s my little thunder Watch out animals in our yard He is on the prowl This incessant barking This incessant howling I simply open the back door and Sunny goes to town!
