Second Chance<br />
Susan Eckenrode<br />
He came to us by happenstance<br />
and Lori named him Second Chance<br />
“because he needed one”, she’d say.<br />
That puppy stole our hearts that day.<br />
His coat was filthy, caked with mud;<br />
his open wounds still seeping blood<br />
and yet his tail said, “Come and play!”<br />
That puppy stole our hearts that day.<br />
His big brown beagle eyes could see<br />
into my soul, it seemed to me,<br />
as if to ask, “Please let me stay.”<br />
That puppy stole our hearts that day.<br />
He came to us by happenstance.<br />
This puppy owns our hearts today.<br />
Jellumbungo<br />
Evelyn Roxburgh<br />
My cat Jellumbungo<br />
Is pretty near fantastic,<br />
He reaches out a dainty paw<br />
And stretches like elastic.<br />
He curls up on a cushion<br />
In a tiny little ball,<br />
But when he leaps to catch a bird<br />
He’s nearly three feet tall.<br />
