Aesops Storm Dog

Storm dog lost his home​

when the roof blew off his house​

he was lifted by​

a hard fast wind​

and collided with a mouse​

​

The mouse clung fast​

to the matted hair​

on storm dogs big old head​

but at that moment​

a cat whizzed by​

with golden fur of red​

​

They made a lovely trio​

as the wind increased its might​

hovering over coffee shops​

and raging rivers blight​

​

A little boy upon a roof​

grabbed onto Storm Dogs leg​

he placed the group ​

next to his chicken​

who sat upon an egg​

​

The people and the animals​

stayed perched upon the spot​

by morning they were rescued​

by Mr. Henry Scott​

​

The flood waters finally went away​

and everyone found a home​

Mr. Scott was a wealthy man​

he gave Storm Dog a bone​

​

The mousie got a little barn​

filled with seeds and grains​

the kitty got a cat house​

to keep her from the rains​

​

The little boy went to college​

to become a veterinarian​

the chicken with the egg on roof​

became a vegetarian​

i think this poem is amazing. the fablelike type writing. hence the title aesop? and the moral of the story is,,,,,that rich people should help those in trouble....

 

Yes, and seeing eye to eye can help one another survive. Even common enemies...but then...people tend to forget..so the storms continue...many of which we bring upon ourselves.
