Kaboom! went the dog bed
During the night
Roma the Labrador
Woke up with a fright
Green foam everywhere
All over the floor
Under the table
Stuck to the door
Roma was dumbstruck
How could this be?
Her dog bed exploding
For all to see
She pondered awhile
As Labradors do
To find an answer
A mystery clue
It was the foam
She decided at last
A faulty batch
If the question was asked?
Roma the Labrador
Gently closed her eyes
Dreaming of green foam
And a little white lie
