I lost my favourite ball while on our camping trip so I made up a poem on the way home - hope you like it - rhymes are hard for puppy minds to think of!

My Yellow Ball and I!

One day I went a shopping

And picked you from the pile

This one please mummy

A waggy tail and smile

I took you home and showed you

Toy balls of every hue

But you were the only yellow one

And I stuck with you like glue

You came with me out walking

And didn’t mind at all

When I dropped you in a puddle

My Muddy Yellow Ball

You came with me out swimming

And didn’t mind at all

When I dunked you in the river

My Soggy Yellow Ball

You stayed with me at bedtime

And didn’t mind at all

When I chewed you ever so slightly

My Lumpy Yellow Ball

It often was suggested

As days and weeks went by

That yellow ball was past it

And a new ball we should buy

But I loved you Yellow Ball

And kept you by my side

And never put you in the bin

No matter how they tried

One day we went the seaside

And played upon the sand

And looked in all the rock pools

But I kept you close at hand

But then oh Yellow Ball forgive me

For fate was cruel not kind

When I dropped you in the ocean

My Yellow Ball, I couldn’t find!

A wave had come and stole you

Away from my searching nose

And swept you from my watching gaze

To where? Well heaven knows!

I stood there looking hopeful

Until I was called away

My Yellow Ball is lost now

Although I looked for half the day

So please can we go shopping

I have a gap to fill

Would really like a new ball

I’ll look after it, promise I really will!
