Little Devil Dog

Once I saw a little dog, 

Who was sitting on a wooden log; 

I picked it up with a curious face, 

Thinking it would have been lost in case. 

 

When I noticed its ears, 

Which seemed to be replaced with tiny red spheres, 

Which looked like a devil’s horns, 

And the dog had small wings on its arms. 

 

I was scared a bit, but took it home, 

So that the tiny dog would not feel alone. 

When I showed the dog to mom, she looked horrified, 

She opened her mouth to say, as her eyes opened wide. 

 

I waited for her to answer, as she kept staring, 

I waited more, with a feel of ensnaring. 

When at last she burst out laughing saying, “Do not assume, 

That the dog is not a devil, it’s just a costume!” 

 

I laughed and laughed too, looking at the dog, 

Who had curled up in my hands, like a hedgehog! 

I asked mom that can I keep him, 

She readily said yes, with a big grin.  

I named the dog Lucky, 

And I played and played with it merrily, 

I also raised my dog fairly, 

So, I and Lucky lived happily!
