Never Been Outside Before

never gone outside before

I have never gone outside before,
not once, oh what a bore.
But it's going to be fun,
when I go for a run.
Open the door here I come!

I fell down the steps and got quite dirty,
oh so dirty, so very dirty!
Whoops I swallowed a bug.
Oh no a tree gave me a hug.
Open the door i want in!

I am so happy to be back inside.
oh so happy, so very happy.
I jumped on a bed,
and hid my head.
Some days its hard being a dog!
