The story of a dog and a tree:

plotting dog
Last night after cleaning up our plates from sup,
While lounging around in the living room,
We watched our Christmas tree come crashing down.

Befelled by an annoyed and avenging mutt,
It had no gut to stay put.
It gave up the fight to our pulling and chewing pup.

Alas, our Christmas tree is no more,
It has fallen on the floor,
And was dragged out the door.

Nobody knows why,
But the dog wanted attention, and decided to try.
And did he try!

It was so funny we felt like crying,
We cried so hard that anyone would have thought
We were dying.
