it was a peaceful day
sunny no rain
I see many in the park to play
no more joy they can possibly gain

I nearly slip on the tiles
that mischievous creature
wearing the cheekiest of smiles
he's been unleashed a new feature

running straight to the bog
he wouldn't dirty his fur
that unpredictable dog
that thing gives me a stir.
