The Adventures of

Buddy & Max 5 – Animals and Bugs

Buddy and Max were playing in, the yard together

It was a warm sunny day, good summer weather

            When out of the woods, jumped a deer

            Running past to get, out of there

He flew by them like he was, light as a feather

 

Now Buddy is the bigger puppy of, the two

Max usually had to do what Buddy wanted, to do

            Buddy usually, got his way

            The deer got, his that day

By scaring the puppies to run and, flee too

 

As the deer ran away they heard the neighbor’s, dog barking

It must be a big dog Buddy and Max were, remarking

            They did not, disagree

            That it was, time to flee

Back safe at the house their tails they, were parking

 

But why were they both so afraid, of the deer

He was more scared of getting, out of there

            Just because he was, bigger than them

            Is that enough, to be condemned

As a chicken or scared-e-cat, would appear

 

Safe in the house Buddy & Max were, thinking

How low their bravery indeed was, sinking

            They could have stood, their ground

            Instead of running, around

And let trouble pass them by without, blinking

 

What about the big barking dog, next door

There was nothing to feel, afraid for

            This K-9 was hooked to, a clothesline

            He was choked when he, pulled each time

Buddy & Max did not know this, before

 

You can’t always believe, what you hear

What you see is not, always clear

            Buddy & Max learned, a good lesson

            It left them with a, good impression

Don’t let emotions control your, thoughts with fear

 

As Buddy & Max were sitting, in the kitchen

Something was crawling on Buddy, making him itching

            Max said “It is just, a ladybug

            Maybe she was lonely, needed a hug”

But Buddy thought it was a joke Max was, pitching

 

Buddy should have listened, to Max he could trust

Instead of filling up with panic, and ready to bust

            Max finally got Buddy, to calm down

            Buddy finally had his feet, on the ground

The little puppy helping the, big puppy adjust

 

Sometimes it’s hard to see things small as a, ladybug

Not so large and easy to see like a, potato bug

            Problems sometimes seem, bigger than they are

            Sometimes it’s hard to figure, it’s kind of bizarre

Don’t be fooled or scared by YOUR next problem, ladybug

 

Now where Buddy & Max lived with the man they, had a pool

Nowhere is there a sign that says “No Dogs, In the Pool”

            Even though the pool, had a cover

            Max was determined, to discover

What was all this water doing, in the pool

 

Max ran right out, on the cover

But he quickly did discover

            The cover was, very thin

            And he almost, fell in

Until the man took hold, of his collar

 

If there is something bothering, you

Something you must get, through

            Whether a puzzle challenge, or task

            You may need some help so, just ask

Then do your best at whatever you, do

 

Sometimes you may need a, helping hand

It’s hard when you struggle to, understand

            Saying, a prayer

            Will get you, somewhere

Better than where, you now stand

 

Buddy & Max knew there was a God, to pray to

From watching the man that’s what he, used to do

            He was not, a preacher

            He was just, a believer

He had read the Bible, through and through

 

Buddy & Max together had, learned a lot

Some they remembered some, they forgot

            The most important thing, they learned

            Don’t let your feelings, get burned

By something on your way, to the top
