Little Reena wanted a puppy Said she'd do anything to get one Her parents were against the idea And promised to compensate her With other gifts, goodies or toys If only she'd stop all that noise About wanting a squealing doggy But Reena would have none of it She in turn offered to do her bit By not eating sweets for a week And keeping her room very neat Her Dad's heart melted and He finally gave in and led Her to a pet shop not far away Within minutes she was all smiles A tiny pomeranian wagged his tail And the child was sure he wanted her She jumped up and down as her Dad Settled the bill and carried the dog off In a special basket with a rubber bone And other puppy accessories but What they did not realise was that Puppies need to be trained and soon On reaching home Reena let the pup Run loose and sure enough there were Puddles all around the room - her Mom Was not pleased as she had to mop up The Dad rushed out to buy a Dog Book Before he returned his slippers Had been systematically chewed up He could only see the soles and a Very flustered little Reena in tears "Dad I did not know that puppies Can be more troublesome than babies But please don't return him to the shop I will help you and Mom to bring him up I will train him to keep the house clean You keep your footwear out of reach And we will name him Puddles"
