Otis

NO ONE KNEW OTIS (New story about Otis) There's a window over there And a man sits in an easy chair Warmth radiates from the comfortable scene But outside there's s snow storm quite mean Ice hangs in patches from branches and fences Against such weather there are no defenses But on close inspection one would notice Under the man's window a small dog named Otis Not allowed in the warm house the man has a rule about that Why would a man do such a thing to a pet Otis, quite a small dog to meet a cruel end Expired from cold but dog house sign did amend "OTIS - MAN'S BEST FRIEND"
