I am Scamp a scruffy long haired rescue dog of an unbeknown breed
But a young couple took pity on me and they are very good indeed,
They look after me very well and I have a lovely comfortable bed
They take me for long walks and play ball and make sure I’m well fed.
They took me to the vets so that I could have my parvo injection
And a poor cat yowled as it lay in its box with an eye infection,
There was Freddie the ferret foraging inside its dad’s topcoat
And a little girl holding a bowl trying to keep her fish afloat,
A nervous Yorkshire Terrier sat trembling on its owner’s knee
And a bald headed budgie sitting on its perch as quiet as it could be.
As I looked round at this motley crowd I heard a little boy shout
“Ooh mum! Its gone, I’ve lost me spider, I think it must have fell out”
And as the lad was on his hands and knees crawling round the floor
Everyone was ready to do a mass exodus through the nearest door.
The lady nursing the Yorkshire Terrier jumped up off her chair
The cat stopped its yowling and gave us all an evil one-eyed glare,
Freddie the ferret stopped its foraging and fell on to his master’s lap
The budgie squawked because the noise had disturbed his little nap
During all this commotion the vet came out and shouted “Next please”
As he noticed the little boy crawling about on his hands and knees,
“Have you lost something?” the vet said looking at the little boy
“Yes I’ve lost my spider and it is my favourite wind up toy”.
A sigh of relief from everyone as they all joined in the search
Even the budgie got excited as he jumped about on its perch.
Never mind it brightened the day and certainly broke the ice
Because they all started to chat together which made it very nice.
