When I need a pet, whom I can pet
sure you will bet, it would be a cat.
I don’t mind having curly skin
keeping paces with me as i walk.
but the moment I step on him,
he screeches and scratches.
I would love to have a dog as a pet
he has so much love that he places
on the platter ready to lick you,
at every single opportunity you offer.
But when you try to take his plate away
he barks and almost bites me,
leaving me in the dark, lonely and alone…
