A Boy and His Dog

Word Count: 134

He woke up one morning alive and bright,
And dared to turn on the light.
What did he find at the end of his bed?
His dog wagging his tail ready to be fed.

“C’Mon, Andy, I’m hungry for some slop!”
Andy’s yawn stopped dead cold, and his eyes grew wide,
“Ollie, did you just talk?”
“I sure did, and I need a walk.”

Andy threw the covers off and hunted down his pants,
While Ollie wagged his tail some more and pranced.
“How is it possible that you just talked?”
“I knocked over Suzie’s leftover drink by chance.”

Andy raced downstairs and let Ollie out,
His hands on his hips, he tried not to freak,
And Ollie came in ready to eat.
What was he gonna’ do with a dog that could speak?
