Array ( [sid] => 160775 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Plights of a Drovers Dog [time] => 2010-06-25 04:16:58 [hometext] => [bodytext] => There was a young farmer by the name of Hosegood
Some cows he was droving, didn’t go where they should
So he sent in his dogs who went down the track
And Mr Hosegood waited … but they didn’t come back

So after a while he searched and he searched
And thought “Damn those dogs, left me in the lurch”
So he gathered a few others to help with his plight.
And finally gave up as it approached to the night

Four days now had come and went
And he thought for sure his dogs would be spent
The days were cool but the nights were freezing
He was totally puzzled at his dogs sudden leaving

Then on the fourth day a call he received
His dogs were found……Alive…. Who’d believe?
They had somehow fallen down a 15 foot drop
Now that would certainly cause their droving to stop

The bloke finally pulled them up to the edge
And one was so happy it hugged the blokes’ leg
Now their all home to continue their duty
And the adventure they had……well it was a beauty

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
