Wednesday’s Weekly Poetry Reading
A story about my Uncle Corey and his best friend his dog Buck. Its very funny and its a TRUE story…
“The Dog Who Begged For A Shave”
There once was a puppy who longed for a home,
And today was his lucky day.
A mother went shopping for just such a pup,
So she bought him and they drove away.
He lived a good life with Mom and her sons,
As they grew and so did he,
But the difference in age made him an old man,
To the dismay of his family of three.
On this day, the young Son was worrying,
Gray whiskers, covered the dogs face.
He cried at the thought of him dying,
Because no other, could take this dogs place.
He looked at the dog who was aging,
And thought, “now I have to be brave”,
So he took out his razor and called his old friend,
And proceeded to give him a shave!
When Mom came home from a hard days work,
The Son had a gleam in his eye.
Mom, Guess what I did for our little friend?
Hoping our fourth family member wouldn’t die.
So this is a story of my Son and his dog,
And the simple explanation he gave.
“Each time when I looked into his eyes,
He was just begging me for a shave”!
