Lost Puppy

Lost puppy - - - - - - - - - - - Litter brothers and sisters Of white and black and mottled color Romping and playing on the ground Without fear and care like little child They were cute and cuddly And they could act so silly When one little beagle Was struck in a mud puddle The puppy toiled and struggled Only to become more exasperated Yawning and yelping The puppy finally gave up ascending Letting herself slide into neck-deep To be left there all night aloof and given up Next morning a small Child was walking by the puddle And saw the beagle lying there With a mass of mud covering her Coming closer the boy screamed for help But none turned up Without delay he jumped into the mud puddle And pulled the puppy out alive and wakeful! Such was the courage, love and affection Of the little boy who saved the beagle from curtains
