Puppy Business

Something that jumps
a little green bug
a leaf in flight
the fringe on the rug.
The ball that squeaks
a woolly bear worm
the puppies quarrel
it must be my turn.
Bit and wrestle
tug of war
don’t miss a morsel
thqt falls on the floor.
Puppies are busy
they sleep and play
life is grand
it’s always a new day.
