Pets

Our dog is small and yappy

He's really our little boy

He barks when he is happy

He is so full of joy.

 

Any one can own a dog

as long as you're not allergic

I would like to own a hog

But they are so lethurgic..

 

I collect chicken breeds

They're facinating to view

Their eggs provide for all our needs

And my hubby's egg drop stew----

 

I like horses tall or small

They are very easy to feed

I just can't keep them in my hall

A pasture I will need.

 

Ducks do lots of quacking

They really like muddy water

This is very nerve-wracking.

So I refill it less than I oughter.

 

Llama, llama! I think they're neat

Problem is they spit

They have really big feet

And I don't care to be hit..

 

Cats are calmer and have yet to bark

hubby says no way

the furry things like to snark

and catch songbirds all day...

 

Ferrets are sneaky sorts

who will ruin your couch in a hurry

Inside they build their little forts-

Don't buy a ferret- you just might be surry.

 

Parrots are beautiful birds

Who sometimes learn to speak

Very naughty words

Spewed from their great big beak

 

Parrots, ferrets, cats and llamas

ducks, horses, chickens or hogs-

Not one can wear any pajamas

And none makes a better pet than our dog.

Silly but entertaining. Have you read this to any children? I think they'd giggle quite a lot if you did.

Funny you should mention reading this to children...I work at a library, in the Youth Services dept. And I read to young children once a week ... ;) Giggles are good! Thanks for your kind comments~ pat

I prefer cats, but lovely poem. I like the humour!

[Patricia B. Hepler]

Thanks Enid :) Felt silly, wrote silly ;)

Enjoyed. I was going to call you on spellings, but realized you did it on purpose. :-)

[Patricia B. Hepler]

Thanks! And I'm not sure what a snark actually is, either ;)

Chuckling here... you did touch on a bit of humor.

Sometimes it is necessary to force a rhythm AND a rhyme. It doesn't make the work anything less - it just shows how hard we sometimes have to try. Flaws are human.

Thanks, Chris. I wrote this yesterday and it took on a life of it's own. Decided to leave it the way it birthed itself.
