The dog went out in the sunshine

And soaked up all the rays

It looked up into the sky

And barked ” What a beautiful day”

The cat went out in the sunshine

And pranced around a bit

Turned around and went inside

In the window sill to sit

The dog stayed out in the sunshine

In circles chasing his tail

He was not going back inside

Sun rain or hail

The cat stayed in the window sill

Watching the world go by

Grinning at the silly dog

A scratch a lick a sigh
