What
if your parents
Gave you a fish in a bowl?
But one day your brother
Swallowed it whole?
Would you care
If his hair turned blue?
What if he got sick
And blamed it on you? |
Caring
for pets
Can be lots of fun.
But a snake that gets lost
May upset everyone.
A dog that is rowdy
Can turn over a chair
And be double trouble
For you, everywhere! |
| Come
read some funny
Poems about pets.
So you'll know what to do
If your carpet gets wet!
Learn how a rabbit
Can get fat and lazy.
And why your collie
Named William
Prefers to smell daisies. |
Read
Who Swallowed Harold?
And you'll want an ant farm.
Or a bulldog named Boris,
Or a gerbil with charm.
You'll ask for a guinea pig
Who can jump up for joy.
You'll beg for a ferret
Instead of a toy. |
