Easter thief
Tell me, Buster, tell me who
would want to rob a kid?
How could someone ever do
what this offender did?
Help me, Buster, use your snout,
your super sense of smell.
Sniff the thoughtless scoundrel out
and I’ll reward you well.
Sit up, Buster, take those paws
away from round your ears
Why the sudden droopy jaws,
the hint of doggy tears?
Why the worried-looking brow,
the tail between the legs…?
Naughty Buster, fess up now.
It’s you who stole my eggs!

Australian Children’s Poetry 
Poor Buster! Hope he didn’t swallow
Easter eggs that day
Chocolate can be death to dogs…
A life’s too much to pay.
Keep your eggs all locked away;
Your grapes and raisins too
Dogs will never understand
Protection’s down to YOU.
Lovely – can picture that!
This one’s a treat!
Beautiful rhyme & rhythm Jenny.
