Excerpt
One day while out walking, old Mr. McBain,
Spotted a box on the side of the lane.
Brown with a cover and ten inches square,
He took off the lid with very great care.
Out popped two heads that gave a big yelp,
Two filthy pups who needed some help.
Their coats were all matted ,their puppy eyes sad,
They were thin as a rail, smelled like fish that went bad.
McBain couldn’t leave them of that he was sure,
They needed to go somewhere safe and secure.
He looked all around, spotted two paper cups,
They looked about right to hold the small pups.
He lifted them up, put each of them in,
A perfect pup fit because they were thin.
He carried the cups down to the dog pound,
A much better place then where they were found.
The puppies were bathed and rinsed more than twice,
Combed and brushed out , they even smelled nice.
The two little pups looked so much the same,
To tell them apart each needed a name.
“What shall we call you,” said pound worker Pat,
Cinder and Rella, maybe Kit and Kit Kat?”
The pups had a thought when it came to their name,
How about Mr. and Mrs. McBain?
Pat looked at the pups and as if reading their minds,
Said “I think we should honor the man that was kind.
You’re a boy and a girl yet look quite the same,
The name that works best is the puppies McBain.
The pups grew tired after having been fed,
So Pat tucked them away in a warm comfy bed.
Happy they weren’t still out on their own,
They dreamed of life in a new doggie home.
