My furry friends


They come in all shapes and sizes
Giving me love and many surprises
I take them for walks and play all day
I care for them all, when parents are away

Fifi is handsome, mischievous too
Popper is tiny, funny and cute
Bobby is old and just wants to sleep
I’m sure he lies and counts sheep
Sister Tess is gentle and mild
Millie and Mattie two sister run wild

They scream and bark with great delight
And race round the garden with all their might
Life would be dull without my furry friends
Their love for their parents and me never ends.
