Spot
by Maisie Aletha Smikle https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/10456087
Spot looks Dalmatian
And might even be a Martian
He likes to cuddle
And play in a puddle
Spot is polka dot
Cotton white and velvet black
Astute smooth and immaculate
Better than a box of chocolate
He cushions all
Before a fall
And stands tall
To catch a ball
At the cat Spot barks
When he goes for walks
Sniff sniff he detects a rat
He must get that
His nose to the ground
Tail wagging like a hound
His ears propped
And huge eyes popped
From the leash Spot dashed
In a twinkling flash
Like Tom and Jerry
Spot leapt in a hurry
He dug deep in the sand
Till he could stand
Sniff sniff the rat is gone
And Spot is worn and all forlorn
Spot needs a bone
And not sand stone
So back Spot went away from the pebbles
To catch some floating bubbles
Spot ate his bone
And sat on a stone
Gazing at the distant sun in the horizon
He mused for treats he could have a dozen”
