THE BLUE DOG
There was a shaggy dog that was blue.
His color was a bit taboo.
He lived in a town
where blue made you frown,
when people saw him that's all they could do.
One day on the road
he met a green toad
that was lucky as green should be.
As they walked along
the dog sang a song
of the troubles of being blue.
The toad listened politely
as he hopped along lightly
thinking of what he could do.
They came to a fork in the road
near the pond that was home to the toad.
There came a thought
which didn't happen a lot
to help the dog lighten his load.
The toad pushed him in
with soap and a grin
and told him to wash and scrub
and then he exclaimed "Don't forget the dubba dub dub!"
What a disaster that would have been!
when the dog was done
he got out and spun
to see what difference the bath had made
he was elated and exclaimed
"What great magic you have done!"
The dog was now gold
what a sight to behold!
It was color the town
could not put down
for this was an event untold.
(the dog and the toad live happily ever after)
THE END!
