A Pet
by Rebecca Valentino
I really need a puppy
I long for a new pet
There is a space inside my home
That’s not been filled up yet
I only have four cats,
Two birds and a pet pig,
5 hamsters, and a ferret and
One cow that’s not too big
I have a little donkey,
Two snakes and one small horse,
Surely you can see why
I need a dog of course!
