The Hurricane Puppy

 

Peterkin Puppy
by Helen Cowles LeCron

Peterkin Puppy just lived in a
hurry!
Petterkin Puppy could never sit still!
He'd rush through the house in a terrible
flurry,
And, oh, all the dishes he'd break and
he'd spill!

He'd race by the vases and set them to
rocking,-
He'd rush through the kitchen and
tumble upstairs,-
He'd brush past the table (oh, wasn't it
shocking?)
And scatter the books and tip over the
chairs!

"Hurricane Peter," the neighbors all
called him,
"hurricane Peter," he's called to this
day!
Shouldn't you think that the name would
have tamed him?
Puppies should always take care when
they play!
