To Oliver
by Sarah K McClure
 
Golden dog
freckled nose:
free to a good home.
 
Girl
tan skin, eyes brown
wanted: DOG
 
Saturday,
sunny and clear, filled with errands,
Dog Rescue Van:
Free DOGS to GOOD HOME.
 
Tan skin girl
freckled nose golden dog
meet.
 
Sunday morning,
Paper's at the door,
7 a.m.
Tan skin girl
freckled nose golden dog,
Walk.
