WHAT"S GOING ON?

 TOBY

toby the big black labrador
was special
a baby sitter
a clown
a play mate
who spent a lot of time
wearing an indian head dress
playing cowboy and indians
in a teepee
a  good guard dog as well
everyone loved him
except the corner shop owner
who used to  place  a can of dog food
on top of the newpapers
to keep them from blowing away
toby  knew the contents of that can 
they chased him
but could never catch him
people use to laughingly cheer him on
shouting" Go Toby"
he was a sort of celebrity

and then came the day


because of a change of circumstances
going to live overseas
we had to give him away
to another family 

and so time passed

we returned after a couple of years to the same address
and one day he arrived on our doorstep foot sore and limping
he had walked for miles to find us
to come home.
