Find Your Sparkle

Poppy was a lazy puppy who loved nothing more than a good sleep
She could stay in bed for hours and hours week after week
Her owners sometimes worried that she didn’t do rather a lot
Blaming themselves for the ultimate luxury bed for her they bought
They made a great effort and offered her so many toys
But she wasn’t very interested and snored loudly regardless of any noise
They had to wake her up just to push her outside for a wee
Grumpily she sped back to her bed not interested in the garden to see
As she slumbered her nose filled with a new scent of pine needles and greenery
She opened her eyes a little and there was their very first Christmas Tree
It almost filled their little lounge and there were boxes of decorations laying all around
The family were excitedly hanging tinsel and bows and a long string of lights
When they plugged them in the room suddenly lit up so sparkly and bright
Above her head a giant bauble was hung, it spun like a thousand stars twinkling bright
Her eyes suddenly grew wide as she was mesmerised by the beautiful sight
Softly she wined and pawed at the fascinating glittery ball
The family laughed and felt relieved that Poppy had found her festive sparkle after all!
