THE BURIAL SCENE

Why is our friend, Kris, working so hard,
Digging so many holes, all over the yard?
He has found all of his bones...is he so blind...
That he can't see the bones, that he did find?
Doggy friends are laughing...because they all know,
It's not bones he's searching for, that is making him so,
Frustrated! Persistent! Determined!
WORKING NON-STOP!
He had carefully buried, his favourite thing!
NOW HE CANNOT....
Find where he put it...it seems to be NOWHERE!
And his very best friend is just sitting there!
One pooch is laughing! Rolling on the ground!
And all of the other dogs are ridiculing him,
ALL OVER TOWN!
Here comes more "TROUBLE" with a spade in her hand,
Because, he had not followed her latest command!
He'd promised to reform, the last time he disobeyed,
And by the look of this yard, it's going to need First Aid!
Why does she get so upset, about such small misdemeanors?
Expecting him to exist, on dog food and choice weiners!
Doesn't she know, that he gets an urge to quickly snatch,
Some of those green cucumbers, in her garden patch?
It is an uncontrollable addiction, that began just last week,
Causing him to crave....pick....dig....and constantly sneak!
His taunting friends have changed the name that he had!
They renamed him "Cucumber" and it makes him so mad!
But, he'll just ignore them and they will move on,
To another dog's district....another greener lawn!
They can take, all of the bones and leave him alone!
He'll enjoy picking cucumbers, right here at home!
