JAKE’S DOG
My favourite grandson Jake, yearned for a canine chum,
He pleaded with his dad and often asked his mum,
Eventually and happily there came that wondrous day
A puppy from a litter – a pet was here to stay.
They purchased bowl and basket, for it to snuggle down
And bought a pooper-scooper on the way from town
Then both impressed upon him, now he owned a mutt
He’s the one in charge of it so keep the front gate shut.
Jake listened to the lectures on what he had to do
Promised he would train it and find it bones to chew
Father bade “look after it” pointing with his fork
“Don’t forget” warned mother “you’ll take it for a walk”.
Even when they go away arrangements have been done
Granddad’s taking care of it – he can have some fun
Asked about the collar – what name should we engrave
“Why” said Jake just smiling – “I think I’ll call it Dave”.
Dave the dog!!
