I have a pet constrictor
He’s making me quite worried
I think he wants to eat me
Deep-fried, or maybe curried.
I have a pet tarantula
His legs are long and hairy
I can’t take him for show and tell -
my teacher’s much too scary.
I have a pet orang-utan
He’s making me quite cross
His breath smells like a monkey
And he won’t use dental floss.
I have a pet rhinoceros
His horn is made of hair
He doesn’t let me plait it
I think it’s quite unfair.
I have a pet triceratops
He thinks he’s still alive.
(I suppose that I could tell him,
But I don’t think I’d survive)
I have a pet hibiscus
But I think she has a fault.
She never goes for walkies
And she doesn't seem to moult.

ReplyDeleteI was feeling a bit down. I have a bad cold which I can't seem to shake(is there such a thing as a good cold?)
Hearing from you has lifted my spirits.
I liked your PET Poem
Glad to hear these lifted your spirits. I might put up my poem "I'm thick, I'm thick!" just for you Lexie.
