The pious brown cottage of Miss Ethel Brown
Boasted a window as bright as a clown.
Stained-glass, gaudy, imposing, loud
Only it’s owner was as big and proud.
Skinny and orphaned, Ted from next door,
Who hadn’t had lunch, ‘cause he was too poor
Young Ted had only one friend to his name -
Spot, a friendly and lively great Dane.
One summer day, at nine on the dot,
Ted threw a frisbee for his dog Spot.
Poor Spot leaped for it and crashed
Into Brown’s window which ended up smashed.
Outraged Brown flew out and without a committee
She roared out a verdict that wasn’t too pretty.
Because he was smaller, ’cause he couldn’t best her
Ted wound up sentenced to Summit Semester.
And poor little Spot is no longer around
Because Mack (the dog-catcher) took him to the pound.
Semester ‘09

Who posted that? And why did THAT get presented to Dr. Bauman?
ReplyDeleteI did. It was a joke after writing class. We were rewriting a paragraph about Ted and Mrs. Brown.
