Chocolate Dogs
Slap! Against the window pane –
Plunk plunk plunk – it sounds like rain.
I look out, and there I see
A muddy, chocolate-brown doggie!
I see another puppy, blonde.
She dives into a muddy pond.
And, now, soaking through and through,
She emerges chocolate too!
I hear a hiss, and now I see
Just how this puddle came to be:
The muddy pond and rain I saw
Were made by sprinkler cloaked in paw!
I hear a bark! I hear a plop!
Back the dogs go to their puddle of slop!
They’re splashing around in a funny dog jig!
One hops around, and one rolls like a pig!
Now I hear voices. “Where are the… NO!!!”
Chocolate dogs scatter. “Where did they go?!”
I hear laughter! I hear scolding.
Puppy wrestling. Puppy holding.
They wriggle away, and they leap like big frogs
Back into their puddle, my chocolate dogs.
