An accurate story
spring is in the air
it happened recently
a dog with an eccentric flair
The car had been started
getting ready for a trip
Skipper excitedly jumped into the car
a key attached to his lip
Forgetting something
I shut the car door
Skipper jumped into the front
dropping the key on the floor
Paws locking the door
my expression was a site
Skipper climbed into the driver’s seat
giving me a fright
Backing up slowly
Skipper put the car in gear
sitting on the horn
toward the road he began to veer
Going down the street
I began to run
Skipper pressed the accelerator
having so much fun
Head out the window
wind in his hair
tongue wagging happily
freedom everywhere
Grabbing my bike
yelling at him to stop
finally catching up with him
stopping the car with a mop
Skipper jumped into the passenger seat
expecting me to pay
a treat for this story
Happy April Fool’s Day!
