Make ‘Im Pale

Sunny day in June with a hot enough degree.
See a youth and pup outside tossing the frisbee.
Just a boy with a disc and a man’s best friend.
Playing catch near the fence where the grass patch ends.
Jaws wrap ‘round the circle, then he runs it back
And then gets hit in stride, maybe jumps to snatch.
4’8” Chain link made, teeth for top.
Throw’s high, Oh my! Leaped the dog.
What a wonderful jump.

(It’s his last.)

Not canine nor boy realized he hovered above
The puncturing hunk of metal, child yells as rover rides the links.
At least it managed to catch the throw inside its teeth.
