Mac and Joey
by betaphi
My baby’s gone outside to start his day
He is the most amazing little boy
At three he’s full of life and loves to play
He heads out down the path bouncing with joy
He stops to pick up something from the ground
Perhaps a rock or stick or once-prized toy
I watch and wonder what it is he’s found
A ball, he throws it far for Mac the dog
Young Mac returns with just a curl of bark
He’s taken from the nearest Birchwood log
Now Joey’s squatting down, he’s found a frog
He’s showing it to Mac who starts to bark
They play like this each day from dawn to dark

How I wish my little boy is three, so that he can go outside to play and fulfill his curiosity.

Hi again, Walter. How old is your little boy? It sounds like he’s very young. Aren’t they wonderful!

In the original version, the boy was five but I couldn’t find a picture of a five year old with a dog. Three year olds still need naps. Your twins are three; you know that.
