Run-A-Round Dog

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.

Author notes

This is a true story; my friend, Missy took care of our dog, Meggie for two weeks while we were in Colorado. Meggie "escaped" one afternoon off the back deck and wasn't missed for quite awhile. My friend spent the evening in shear panic looking for our dog....who was later found at a neighbor's house.
