"Toad Stool"

Hi! My name is Tipper

And I’m just a little pup

I don’t know what is going down

And I never know what’s up

But playing in the backyard

Of my own abode

I saw a brown and bumpy thing

They say it was a toad

I had never seen one

I did not know what to think

I crept up real close to it

To see if it would stink

I stared – he stared

I think we both were stumped

I twitched – he twitched

Then all at once he jumped

He lit upon my back – I yelped

I mean – what can I say

He turned off towards the bushes

And briskly hopped away

My master stood there laughing

I felt like such a fool

I left a little pile behind

She called that my toadstool

This was written by one of our family friends Mike Dailey.  He writes FANTASTIC poems just off the top of his head and about anything and everything.  They are always quite entertaining and I absolutely LOVE this one about Miss Tipper.  Too cute!  Thank you Mr. Dailey for making my day with a great laugh:-)
