Greene Poem: Dreams of Racing
Cars
If China Bell was to be a car, she would be the
greatest puppy car of them all.
Her speed would be fast, her tail would wag in a
flash and her tongue would have the wetness of Poseidon.
If Jack were to be a car, he would be raced
against China Bell and the Great Drake and never win by far.
He would of course loose, and what a sad day
that would be.
The Great Drake is not one to lose the race, but
have victory and succeed.
Oh the dreams of dogs that can race, where ever
they may be.
