Eager to learn

 

As these puppies see their boss

read in a book from

time to time, they think

doing that must be very fine.

 

So they give it a try,

but it isn’t as easy

as they thought. Even when

doing it in turns, it is not.

 

Those letters, they all

look alike, nowhere a bone

or an old shoe. “You take

the next turn, please do

 

while I take a nap.”
