Dexter’s Day: The Gate

It seems the Big Scary Wooden Cupboard

has a cousin.

He is called, The Gate:

And I don’t like him!

He sits at the bottom of the steps to my house

And he does TERRIBLE THINGS!

I mean, he keeps Brucie, Harry and Scrappy

Away from me.

When they are crying, I cannot cuddle them.

Or bite them.

Coz The Gate keeps them back.

When the goats come up the hill

And come up the first steps,

I cannot play with them

So shake paws

Because The Gate is in the way!

Worse, when he sees my Mummy,

He opens – and STEALS HER!

She is gone F.O.R.E.V.E.R.

And I cannot see her!

I am very annoyed with The Gate

So I pulled his pretty Cat chimes off

Which made Mummy angry

But I thunked to her that The Gate was naughty

And needed to be taught a lesson.

I also thought the cat chimes

Might open The Gate

But they didn’t.

Pulling them off and breaking one,

Only opened The Dog House –

and I’m in it now……

I’m going to get a tool box

And ”get” The Gate

Then I’m going to ”get” The Big Scary Wooden Door –

in fact, I’ll do that first

Coz I’ll get my biscuits !

Hoorah.

Don’t care about The Gate

If I’ve got my biscuits!

Wuff and wags
