My Favorite Pet

by HarryT

I have had many pets

In my eighty years of life

Including goldfish, parakeets

Four dogs and one cat

The goldfish were okay

But they were boring

Just swam in and out

Of a little stone castle

Darn parakeets never talked

No matter how hard I tried

Both ended life, stiff on their

Backs at the bottom of the cage

The doggies were fun but

A lot of work, training, feeding

Taking them for walks and

Picking up piles of excrement

The cat, he was something else

He thought I was his pet

Nuzzled when he wanted to eat

Other times he could care less

He was just off on his own

But let me tell you, I now have

The best pet I ever owned

Don’t have to feed

Don’t have to walk

Don’t have to clean up

Doesn’t bark or meow

Let me explain:

My pet, shall we say has

Great flexibility – the ability

To changes genders, yes really-

Uncle Sam for July celebration

A scary witch for Halloween

Pilgram lady for Thanksgiving

When the snow flies

I bring my pet inside

Sits by the fireplace

Allows me to rest

My cold feet on his

Cozy warm back

Yes, my friends, my cement goose

Is the best pet I ever owned
