The First Time
Buddy & Max 7 – Going to school
Everything must have had a, first time
Must learn to walk before you, can climb
To do, something new
Should not, bother you
Just because it is your, first time.
Buddy & Max had a surprise, one day
The man had something special, to say
They would be attending, obedience school
They would be learning the, dog’s golden rule
They would be starting the very, next day
Now just what is this, golden rule
That Buddy & Max would, learn at school
Just what does, it say
For puppies, today
Buddy & Max did not want to, be a fool
On their way riding, in the car
Max wondered, just how far
They would travel, from home
Would he be left, alone
Max chose to just stay, in the car
But when they, arrived
The school was, alive
With other dogs, playing
Max felt like, staying
School was buzzing like a, beehive
Buddy & Max saw, an old friend
Lori’s owner made, her attend
Together they would learn, the golden rule
They played together, at the school
Until they went home at, the day’s end
The first day at school went by, so fast
Buddy & Max were very happy, at last
They were glad they went, today
They were ready to go, another day
There was no test they could, not pass
Buddy & Max had remembered in, their lesson
They learned a lot in this, first session
How to sit stay, and come
When to walk when, to run
Obedience school gave them a good, impression
They learned right away the, golden rule
Learning that was easy, at this school
Each time you did, something neat
Each time you would, get a treat
Buddy & Max loved treats they, were no fool
Buddy & Max learned to do, what your told
That’s the rule made, out of gold
Doing the, right thing
Instead of, fighting
You will never be left out, in the cold
Now Lori had stayed, real quiet
She did want to start, a riot
By telling the boys, that they should
Be able to tell bad, from the good
And don’t make treats a, steady diet
Lori said don’t always expect a, reward
Sometimes it is best, ignored
To do good, is the text
Always, do your best
And set some new kind of, record
Buddy & Max and Lori had, learned in school
Now they knew all about the, golden rule
Do as you are told the, first time
If you don’t listen you will, waste time
Follow directions and don’t, be a fool
What Lori had shared with, Max & Buddy
Was not meant to make, them feel cruddy
What she tried to, explain
To them again and, again
Doing what you are told don’t, seem so nutty
Once again there must be, a moral here
Something good to, know very clear
If puppies can, figure this out
What Lori was, talking about
Lori was just, being sincere
So now we have three little, puppies
They are becoming the best of, buddies
They made new, friends
Friendship never, ends
Obedience school made them no, dummies
