While sitting on my back deck, <br />Some little friends dropped by. <br /> <br />Was my little Rooster Doodle Boy and Kitty Smoke, <br />and it almost made me cry. <br /> <br />They sat right down by my side, then Dog Lady came out too. <br />What did I ever do to deserve, such devoted friends like you? <br /> <br />Mr. Rooster crowed his song for me <br />And Little Kitty purred right along. <br /> <br />Then Lady started to howl and bark, <br />To now sing, their animal trio song. <br /> <br />This went on for quite awhile, <br />Until I joined in. <br /> <br />Then one by one, they left the deck, <br />And they have never been seen again!<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sitting-on-the-back-deck/
