This was my entry into a poetry contest marked - Animals and Pets |
My dislike for animals I confess this now I hate them all from Beaver to Cow The fur, the scales too many legs and tails A detesting thought like chalkboard and nails! Fish are bad, and green slime makes them sad The stupid creatures it makes me so mad What did they do before they had our care? Cats and dogs all wild, who groomed their hair? Snakes and Spiders on show behind glass A pleasant thought, where they belong at last This kingdom of creatures belongs to me too Not the Rabbits or Mice and all their pooh What I hate most of all, of all of these things Is the ungrateful critters with the little stings They will swarm at your buffet, beer and all Then attack their hosts either big or small What I tell you now is harsh but true Animals are evil, and greedy, so what do we do? We cuddle them up, we leave food as the bait Then we set our trap and only need wait These Rabbits and Cats, all the creatures you love All the birds: the pigeons, the sparrows and the dove They will look for a second into your loving eyes The detonation switch, in your hand, an explosive surprise. |
