Mama was a tornado of excitement that day,

Come on Kareema

She said swatting me into the house

With a pitch of excitement in her voice

I followed her in

And I came to a big brown box

Inside a raggedy little fellow sat

He wagged his tail at me 

And then gave my hand a lazy lick

I hugged mama 

She engulfed me into her arms

And then Spot barked up at the two of us

We both laughed

At that scruffy little puppy
