As a matter of fact, I believe dogs do like ice cream!

ICE CREAM

Katie knows something,

And she's only two.

"What did that doggie say to you?"

Asked Dad, out in the park one day,

When a friendly retriever

Came over to play.

"Dogs don't talk," Katie replied.

"Why didn't I think of that? Daddy sighed.

"He wanted ice cream," said Katie.

"And how to you know?

"He barked," Katie said,

"And that told me so."

"Dogs lick," said Dad.

"They sniff, and they paw.

They run, and they jump, and

They fetch and play ball.

They sit and roll over, and

They come when you call ...

But ice cream?" asked Dad.

"I lick," Katie said.

"I sniff, and I growl.

I run, and I jump, and

Sometimes I howl.

Can I have ice cream, too?"
