Unless You're The Household Pet
Abrasively, your parrot squawks
Of football, fish and figs
Of omelettes, tripe and country walks
And wearing powdered wigs
Amusingly, your mother sings
Off key and out of time
The consternation that it brings
Is really quite sublime
Apparently, your tortoise hums
(or smells a little ripe)
He's keen on taking up the drums
And smoking on his pipe
Amazingly, your bloodhound flies
His stools are on my roof
Please come retrieve these doggie "pies"
Or I'll become aloof
Alarmingly, your goldfish roars
Time, perhaps, to flush it?
I dursn't - have you seen its claws!?
Step on it and mush it!
Aspiringly, your mouse miaows
He seems to think that he's a cat
But when he takes up stalking cows
Redecorate his flat
Abhorrently, your poem drags
And looks good in a dress
I think it's time it packed its bags
And filled them up with cress
