The Puppy

"The Puppy"


The boys were outside playing beneath a crisp December sun.
I was in the bathroom performing patch work on the Plumbing
My girls were in the kitchen helping Mom make supper.
When I heard someone ask, Has anyone seen the puppy?.


The house began to vibrate. Through each room we did run. 
The boys were outside playing beneath a crisp December sun.
I hope he didn't get outside or get into the trash.
Someone check the TV room and check it really fast.


Then I heard a crunching sound emitting from the wall 
in the opposite direction of the girls looking down the hall.
The boys were outside playing beneath a crisp December sun.
So I went and checked it out. Where had that puppy gone?


There he is! Over there! He's chewing on the hutch!.
Looks like he's been there awhile, Maybe he got stuck?
Finish dinner.I will get him and then wrap up the plumbing.
The boys were outside playing beneath a crisp December sun..
