Dog Day Afternoon

For he's come home to me.

He's back to stay and we'll not part,

Oh, you just wait and see!

Yes, I was sitting by the brook

Beneath an old oak tree;

I'd just begun to read my book,

When something startled me.

I turned around in some surprise

And there he humbly stood,

Begging with his big brown eyes

To forgive him if I would.

Well, it had been so long (too long)

But, I still loved him so,

So I forgave him all his wrong

And he was glad I know.

I flung my arms around him tight

Although his coat was dusty,

And the sun shone on him bright...

My long-lost dog named Rusty!
