The Young Dog And The Old Dog Poem by Jim Yerman

The Young Dog And The Old Dog



A young dog met an old dog at a barbecue one day
The young dog licked the old dog's face and together they did play.

The young dog every now and then wanted to play a little fetch…
She made that old dog throw things…she made that old dog stretch.

The young dog jumped and bounced and ran all over the yard…
The old dog can't remember the last time he played or laughed so hard.

As the young dog made the old dog do things he'd forgotten how to do
the old dog couldn't believe how fast time with the young dog flew.

It's funny how the young dog
in between all that playing…all those licks…
did something we thought impossible…
she taught that old dog some new tricks.
