The boy and his dog,
Went for a walk in the fog,
They got really lost,
Tripped up on the frost,
And ended up deep in a bog!

The boy shouted for help,
As his dog barked and yelped,
Still nobody came,
And so they remained,
Up to their knees in the bog!

When the fog disappeared,
They suddenly cheered.
"Soon we'll be seen!" said the boy.
Within the hour a girl did walk by
And rescued them both from the bog.

The two arrived home,
To soup and a bone;
The girl they forgot,
For her help they cared not,
So she plans to push them back in the bog!
