No Pizza for Puppies!

Still tweaking this one, but my kids like it.



Hungry  little puppy
with such an empty tummy,
His nose sniffed some food
That smelled oh so yummy.

He ran to the kitchen,
And saw his nose was right.
All his favorite people
Dined on pizza tonight!

He went to the mom
And showed a puppy smile,
He hoped in his heart that
She’d make it all worthwhile.

He gave a little bark
And  opened his mouth wide
She turned to look at him
And here's how she replied.

"No pizza for puppies,
No pepperoni or cheese.
No pizza for puppies,
Not even if they say please!"

He was a bit discouraged,
But there was no need to fear.
Puppies don’t go hungry
Whenever Dad is near!

He walked up to the dad
And he wagged his stubby tail
But could tell by Dad’s glare
That this attempt would fail.

“No pizza for puppies,
No pepperoni and cheese.
No pizza for puppies,
Not even if they say please!”

He aimed for his boy next
And gave a little yelp.
Surely his best buddy
Would give a little help.

The boy gave him a wink
And a quick pat on the head.
He took another bite,
And this is what he said,

“No pizza for puppies.
No pepperoni or cheese.
No pizza for puppies,
Not even if they say please!”

He had quite enough of this.
He knew that he was able.
Puppy jumped on his hind legs
And landed on the table!

He ate up all the pizza
Until there was none left.
He was very proud
Of this surprise food theft!

Yes, pizza for puppies!
Yum, pepperoni and cheese!
Yes, pizza for puppies!
He didn‘t even say please!
