On the Ball
Lily Liver spotted dog
can’t play catch and fetch,
she runs away when balls are thrown,
running at full stretch.
Boomerang black labrador
doggedly retrieves,
he watches where the balls are thrown,
fetching them for Jeeves.
Two Pi R dalmatian dog
doesn’t want to play,
she wouldn’t want to fetch the balls
her owner throws away.
Boomerang the wonder dog
bounds around and round
leaping up and catching balls
before they hit the ground.
But woeful Lily Liver
wishes they would stop,
it’s raining balls and labrador
plop plop plop plop plop.
Boomerang’s exuberant
and only wants to play
so it’s lonely for a labrador
when Lily runs away.
Boomerang runs after her
what can he have in mind,
surely not to share the ball
with Lily Liver’s kind.
The labrador remembers for
playing catch and fetch,
passing balls from hand to mouth,
reaching at full stretch.
Playfully he drops the ball
down by Lily’s paw
then looks to her to pick it up
like a labrador.
Lily Liver picks it up,
it doesn’t taste too bad,
then she puts it down again,
catching on like mad.
Boomerang stands back a bit
and drops the ball once more
then looks to Lily Liver
to fetch it like before.
Plucky Lily picks it up
and so they can see
she runs round where balls are thrown,
running gleefully.
No, not woeful anymore,
they won’t fall on her head,
she leaps up to bite the balls
and catches them instead.
Sometimes beating Boomerang,
she doesn’t miss a beat,
bouncing back with ball in mouth
to drop it at my feet.
Now she’s standing back a bit
