Pets

by Marshal Gebbie

Domestically the cat and dog 
Are streets above the rest 
But wild alligators 
Have put this theory to the test. 
Panting hippopotami 
Run faster than a mule 
And a camel humps his water 
Through the desert like a fool. 
Bandicoots are ugly, 
Chipmonks pretty cute, 
And the squirrel steals his nuts 
And hides them in the ground as loot. 
Tigers are voracious 
But beautiful as sin, 
They have  coats of cruel colours 
With two burning eyes within. 
Elephants spectacular, 
Blue whales even more 
But my favourite little goldfish 
Really shows them all the door.
