Winter Tale - a True Story
WINTER TALE
A true story
abandoned pit bull
his owners have moved away
just an empty house
he’s been left outside to freeze
sits and stares in disbelief
the dog doesn’t know
whether to whine or to bark
decided to bark
he would summon his master
and he loudly pleads for hours
some men come at last
they are from the pet control
neighbors have complained
oh pray he’ll be adopted
not unjustly put to sleep
