2012 3rd-4th Grade Poetry Honorable Mention

As I enter my home
a furry black
bolt of lightning
strikes me!
In less than a second,
I'm on the ground.
As I stumble to my feet,
I realize that I'm covered
with dog spit!!
As I recover from the blow
I see the culprit.
He smiles and wags
his tail as if nothing
happened.
