Mikey and Butch
By Paul Wilson


While sleeping today much to his surprise
Mikey heard a splash and fell of his log
Looking at him a face with two big eyes
that belonged to Butch the neighbor’s mean dog

He swam and swam as fast as he could go
down to the bottom of his new found home
That big mean dog almost bit off a toe
as he hid underneath a plastic dome

Mikey was so scared he shivered in fright
that mean old dog was trying to get him
Then the dog was gone much too his delight
and to his log Mikey began to swim

Man… that was a close call...he had to say
I really thought I was dog food you know
He promised to get even with Butch one day
I’ll get him for almost biting my toe

About a week later Butch came around
he was trying to get Mikey again
Mikey was ready… not making a sound
he bit Butch’s nose and began to grin

Butch took off quicker then you could say go
out the yard and around the house he went
That I’ll teach him…this turtle’s not that slow
with a sore nose away ole Butch was sent

The next time Butch came around all was good
he looked at Mikey and gave him a smile
Mikey waved at him from his piece of wood
Munching on a treat… his first inawhile

midnitesun...Thanks for the read. This story came too me about 2 weeks ago and I thought I would see what it turns into. I would really like to write a short book of poems for children that tell a story so maybe this will be it.Thanks so much for taking the time to read and reply...Paul
