Imogen Evie and the Canine Calamity

Imogen loves walking her Auntie Betty's dogs. This was another fun story I wrote for Imogen to enjoy at bed time.

Canine Calamity

 

It was evening one Wednesday, an hour before dark

When  Imogen Evie arrived at the park.

She unclipped her seat belt, jumped out of the door

And sped off as soon as her feet hit the floor.

 

In her sparkly new raincoat her face beamed with pride

As she raced up the ladders and zipped down the slide

She zoomed passed the see-saw and climbed through the rings

Then paused for a moment to rest on the swings.

 

“Here Molly, Fetch Winston!” Imogen called

And she tossed up the doggies bright blue bouncy ball.

“Woof!” shouted Winston and Molly replied

As the ball hit a tree and bounced high in the sky.

 

It flew through  a flock of birds , up through the clouds

And down by a group of boys playing aloud

With a nod of his head and a tip of his hat

A little boy swung out his new baseball bat.

 

Whack!!!

 

 

 

 

With a scurry, a scuttle , a scamper of paws

Winston dived through the bushes to Immy’s applause.

Molly  ran across flower beds , splashed through the puddles

Stopped briefly and sweetly gave Immy a cuddle.

 

Then whoosh!!! She was off again, Winston behind,

With only that bouncy blue ball now in mind.

But those silly doggies were soon out of luck

As they leapt  past a white swan and over a duck

 

“Stop Molly!  No Winston!” She yelled from beyond

As Imogen watched them splash down in the pond!

while they clung to a lilli pad, soaked to their ears

Aunt Betty arrived and said “oh dear, oh dear”.

 

As they headed back home at the end of the day

Molly moonshine and Winston sat chuckling away.

And once they had got there, ever so tired

They laid down to dry off in front of the fire.
