Moses and George
Moses was just
a young hound,
Not good for
much but eating biscuits,
And left
over scraps lying around,
But he was already
the best tracker,
If something
needed to be found,
His nose was
insured by Lloyds of London,
A guarantee
that his nose would always work,
So when the
circus lost an elephant,
Moses was called, a case he would not shirk,
Now an
elephant is really hard to lose,
There’s no
place to hide with ease,
And George,
the name of this elephant,
Whenever it
was dusty he had a penchant to sneeze,
Moses
started at the main ring of the big top,
The very last
place George was seen,
He
definitely caught the scent of George,
George
needed a bath or two, if you know what I mean,
Moses might
have been sidetracked,
By all the
circus sounds and smells,
For he lost
the scent of George right away,
And it took
awhile to pick up the trail,
Now George
had not been kidnapped,
He wanted to
have a leisurely bath,
He could
have jumped into a swimming pool,
But he didn’t
want to draw anyone’s wrath,
Moses found
George in the river,
Submerged and
swimming around,
George
looked surprised to see Moses,
“I’m not
ready yet to be found,”
Moses agreed,
sometimes it’s good to be alone,
It was hot
that day and just right for a swim,
Moses went upstream a few yards,
Before he
decided to jump in,
George
confided he was tired of circus life,
Long days
and getting up at dawn,
Moses
listened to George’s plight,
He was
courteous, not even one yawn,
Moses and
George became friends from the start,
Their appearances
were very different,
But they
were alike in their hearts,
They didn’t
play the same kind of games,
But they
could be friends just the same,
Hide and
seek doesn’t give George a thrill,
And Moses
won’t play squish,
They still
sit and talk sometimes,
And get in a
game of Fish,
They’re both
happy to have the perfect friend,
Someone to
share with, someone who’ll listen,
And now they’ve
formed a detective agency,
How well
they do, who knows,
But they expect
to solve a lot of cases,
One has a great memory and the other has a great nose.
