Daddy , We haven't seen Goober all day
He's out till he gets a rabbit I'd say
It's two days later he's still not home
Where and how far could Goober Dog roam
All of Dotyville's looking for this dog
Whole town's like a gear missing a cog
A man who set traps for varmints we felt
Might look as he ran his traps for a pelt
This man called a bit later on the phone
Said he wanted to speak to me all alone
He said in a clearing way out in the wood
So muddy you couldn't get there very good
There was something caught in a steel trap
He couldn't see what,cause of weeds and crap
He was afraid whatever it was might be dead
As he watched,it didnt move,even it's head
I pulled on my boots and on my way I went
Was it Goober,I had to know,I was hellbent
I slogged thru the mud,the weeds and crap
Sure enough Goober was caught in the trap
Goober wasn't hurt,I was sure glad to know
I set him free,he's caught by only one toe
He was weak,3 days of hunger and thirst
So on home I carried my Goober dog first
Glad he's a beagle,and not a great dane
His toe wasn't broken,just a bit of pain
He drank some water,then drank some more
He was okay,just had a toe that was sore
He ran with the kids and played all day
Goober was rescued what more need I say
