I Love Playing Football…


          -by Rufuz-


 


Footballs for me are a real treat,


Dad throws it into the street,


I chase it and try to keep it out of the creek,


Dad says the creek is dirty,


If I go in, I will glow in the dark,


My eyes, they glow now, when dad shoots me with that light thing,


When we go at night to play in the park.


 


I found this football on the ground,


I like how it bounces cause it is sort of off round,


I also play with a soda bottle, but the football is my real fun,


Playing with it at night and all day in the sun.


 


Dad says I don’t socialize with other doggies well,


My toys I keep to myself and get angry & tell,


When my toys they try to take,


But I love playing with Daddy,


Cause he chases me & tries to fake,


That he is hiding behind a tree,


Dad do you think I am stupid, I can see you there,


But he thinks its fun, growling at me like an old bear,


So I go along and play, cause I hear,


That daddy is not around, forever,


I don’t like to hear that, and I wonder where,


He will go, and hope I can go with him wherever there is…

Ed, great material for a short story or movie - starring Rufuz, the Incredible Canine with strange, uncanny, eerie, powers. Can read minds, and make his master do whatever he commands!!
