Bow Wow! Poem by Walterrean Salley

A frightened dog was stranded
Upon a frozen lake,
As a fireman risk his life
For the doggy's sake.

The dog was coached to safety
But, then, the ice would break.
Fireman plunged to cold waters
Into the icy lake.

The doggy walked to safety;
The fireman was towed.
And so relieved was I,
As the tension lowered.

Everything turned out well—
Man and dog were saved;
Rescued from the eager grasp
Of an icy grave.
