You Had To Bring Her a Wolf Pup
When Daddy brought Serena a wolf pup
He did not realize what would happen
When the pup grew up and became her guardian
Serena did not have to do her homework or wash dishes.
If they mentioned it, Gray Wolf would growl a warning
Her parents had never been bitten
But they did not get that close to Gray Wolf’s teeth
His warning growl was enough to let them know
Serena did not have to do anything she did not want to do.
And you had to bring her a wolf pup!
Serena’s mother chastised her husband.
He had a bird when he was a child.
He had thought it might be the same thing.
But of course, it was not.
