Animal
Kori Stricker

I was born one day to the sunny sky;

The light was quite a surprise.
My mother fed me and kept me warm,
While I was small in size.

I had a brother, close to my age,

To play with every day.
A feeling of fun I learned,
Made me happy in every way.

The days went on and I got older;

Winter rose before my eyes.
I felt cold and numb at night,
Waiting for the sun to rise.

I was running through the field one day;

I fell and hurt my toe.
A feeling of pain and discomfort I found;
Tears began to flow.

Days went on and I've healed and gotten better.

Came the season of happy days
And sunny weather.

I don't understand, I know I can't speak,

But this is all true.
I cry, and hurt, and play and love,
I have feelings just like you!

Always Love Your Pet, No Matter How Old They Get

Lesley M. Patterson

Pets are people, too, just like me and you.

They need food in their tummies and lots of beefy yummies.

They are little, but their hearts are BIG.

They like to go outside, get fresh air, and dig.

From big to small, they give their all,

And you can play with them with a toy or with a ball.

To the special bond between human and pet,

always by your side, forever, I'll bet.

Your faithful pet depends on you

and all the special things for them that you do.

Pets help teach us nature's true compassion.

They do not withhold love, nor with it do they ration.

And with our pets, I have no doubt,

that we are lucky not to have to live without.

A furry friend that's always happy to see you,

from life's ups and downs and all that people do.

It's quite a sight for sore eyes to behold,

because that bond is as special as gold.

Always show them love and good measure,

and reap each day a true friend to treasure.

Children, remember to be good to your pet

Be loving to them, no matter how old they get.

Never abandon them or leave them out in the cold or heat,

and you'll have a pet that's super neat!

Always treat them with kindness and love,

for they are truly a gift from above!

Be understanding and patient with them, because they will be for you.
And never, ever forget this, my friend, for pets are people, too.

What Kind Of Pet Do You Think I Should Get?
Jennifer Caldwell

What kind of pet do you think I should get?

A lion, a tiger, or maybe an egret?

My parents said I am responsible and can have whatever I wish.

A hippopotamus, a zebra, or maybe a fish?

What about a giraffe that I can feed from my upstairs bed?

Or would I have to climb up on the roof when it needs fed?

Maybe a lion who is a king and I can be the prince?

Do you think my parents I would have to convince?

There are monkeys and gorillas and snakes of all types!

But I think a cobra or boa constrictor would cause my mom to gripe!

Maybe an elephant, but they have such big poop!

A dump truck is what you would need if you had to poop scoop!

What about a camel with one or two humps?

I think if I rode it lot it would start to hurt my rump!

Or a polar bear like I saw at the zoo?

Does that mean I would have to live in an igloo?

I just can't decide what I should choose?

Do you think an alligator my parents would refuse?

What about a shark that could live in my pool?

But who would feed it and pet it while I am away at school?

Maybe a grizzly bear; half the year they go to sleep.

Never mind, it might attack my neighbor's herd of sheep!

My little sister said, "Why don't you get a skunk?"

I told her I think that's the worst idea anyone's ever thunk!

It seems like the perfect animal is really hard to pick!

Maybe the best one would be a little baby chick?
 I must think about this for just a little while more.
It's too hard to just pick one; will my parents let me choose four?

My mom said she was thinking more like a cat or a dog!

Or maybe it could be a gerbil or a frog.

Let's go to the animal shelter and see what needs a good home.
As for all the other animals, let them be wild and free and let them roam.

We went to the shelter and picked out two!

A cat named Pinky and a dog named Blue.

Both had been abandoned and left to die.

It broke my heart and made me cry!

So if your parents ever let you get a pet,

Head to a shelter and save some lives and have no regret!
