Poetry: Pets

by Josh Winn

Created on: August 25, 2008

Dear Molly, the best dog in the world

I've always wanted to give you a list
Of the amazing things that you are
So I can prove wrong all the people who say
That you're a little alien dog from Mars

The first noticeable quality that you possess
Is very easy to see
It cheers me up, it makes me laugh
It's your trait of stupidity
When I'm down in the dumps and nobody seems
To pay attention or care
You'll come to the rescue as quick as you can
By tumbling down the stairs

The second characteristic
That I find very nice
Is your solid determination
To give me some exercise
You love escaping from the house
And bolting down the street
So I might have to catch you;
You make this a challenging feat

Well, sorry if I didn't mention
How you're prettier than any cat
I have to be honest and blurt it out:
You're uglier than a rat!
