Sarah Rose

Sarah Rose was born

In the glow from

A Strawberry Moon

A tiny pup, the only red,

In a family of browner hue.

Mischief in her eyes,

Prance in her step,

She turned down many,

Showed her backside to any

Human who came her way.

Then, on a Tuesday,

Dig'n-moles-and-voles Day,

A dark cloud appeared

As Archie Nemesis

Came too near.

He pulled her leg,

Widened her eyes,

Held open her jaw and looked inside.

So she bit him.

"Ouch!" yelled Archie.

"She's a bad pup!

She'll never learn to hunt.

I can tell... she's got too much spunk!"

Sarah Rose, with a dainty growl,

Prepared to nip him again.

But her attention was taken

By the aroma of bacon

Come'n from iron skillet,

Supper cook'n,

Deep in Dismal swamp.

Like a tiny flash of lightning

Sarah raced into the Dismal

Single minded, she headed right for Theo's porch.

With a yip, she jumped the window

But then was brought up short.

Someone had beat her to the bacon...

Sweet Enigma

Shell'n acorns.

"Howdy, Sarah Rose." Sweet said with secret smiles ...

(Theo, could you please fry up a couple cuts of fat back?)

"We've been wait'n here

For you

For quite a while.....

Welcome Home."
