Doggone

Barney
gets left behind
in Crawford

and goes on
an incredible journey,
"No, he don’t

find his way
to the White House,"
spits Mr. Bones,

"he goes out
to Hollywood
looking for Lassie,

and Benji
and Rin Tin Tin
and Mr. Ed."

"Mr. Ed ain’t
a dog!"
cried Henry.

"I know,
your stick in the mud,
I was just horsing around!" bortled Mr. Bones.
