Sadie's
poem
By: Sherri Robbins
1/13/03
Courageous
and bold,
I stand between my two masters
They are fast walkers I must admit
But when I sense danger I am alert.
I
am dark and mean,
Yet precious and golden
I sense something ahead,
I think it is one of those cottonmouths.
I
don't think they see it.
I
am swift to get in front of them.
Ah ha! Got it.
I hear Sherri scream. I heard her to yell at Bailey.
They
never have to fear
For Sadie-girl is here.
Well,
the snake is dead
But it has bitten my snout.
It hurts.
I
need to check on the kids.
I think Bailey still doesn't understand what happened.
But Sherri has been so shaken up that she is crying.
She has put her arms around my neck and is thanking me.
I don't know why either.
They
have taken me to the vet!!
Man, I don't like this place.
I
have laid my head down on Sherri's lap and am whimpering.
I wish she could understand me.
I wish her mom would drive us all back home.
So I can lie down in my warm, comfortable barrel
And drink that cold fresh water that Sherri gave me a while ago.
They
have given me a shot.
And it hurt to.
Well, maybe it will help me to fill better.
They
have made me stay the night!!
Just wait and see if I ever save them from another moccasin!!
Where is Sherri?!
Where is Bailey?!
I want to go home!!!!
