{Animals for 5/7/12 Prompt 2 }

Animals



I think animals are cool
They come in different shapes and colors too
Black, white, pink, blue
Short, tall, old, new

They're so different from people
It's amazing that they're real
Most of them aren't potty trained
And some of them are always caged

Some are cruel, and will tear you to pieces
And think that you taste like Reese's Cups Pieces
They can be really loud
And make such awful sounds

I once had a bird who spat in my eye
And I felt like I was about to cry
Animals can cause you to twitch
Or cause you mental anguish

I now know that some animals aren't that cool
They sometimes can be cruel
Maybe I shouldn't get another pet
Right now, they make me want to retch.
