One sunny day when it was hot
Meggie thought that she would trot
through the land that God forgot
while Missy stayed inside a lot.
Missy had some Liebfraumilch,
oatmeal cookies and then some milk.
They passed her throat as smooth as silk;
Meggie explored and felt no guilt.
On second glance the dog was gone.
She'd run away across the lawn.
Something now was very wrong
and Missy search all evening long.
Alas, the dog was finally found
but Missy's fear was quite profound.
The little dog was then housebound
for she had been a run-a-round.
