Poem
***Crazy Menagerie*** I definitely bit off more than I could chew, when I came a-running to my friend's rescue He said it was no big deal, a real snooze actually to just please, please look after his cutie menagerie He said everything was pretty much self-explanatory just feel at home, and relax...he sure was being sneaky! I thought the word "menagerie" was just an exaggeration, but goodness me, I almost fainted when I was greeted by a python! He just lay there by the foyer, quite snug as a bug on the rug So I carefully stepped over it, and planned to make tea for my mug I headed to the kitchen, when I heard something go squeak! squeak! What was that? I wondered, then I let out a bloodcurdling shriek! It flew right over my head, yikes, another one got me all panicky My eyes bugged out as I realized that he had a couple of paniki*!! I went rushing out the kitchen and ran straight into an aquarium No cool fishies here, just mousies out of equilibrium They were jumping up and down now, trying to escape when I heard a suspicious grunt, it sounded like an ape!! I was so scared to search for it, but curiosity won out So I opened doors and cabinets, when I ran smack into a snout! Ewwwww, I just realized that I just kissed an ugly pig! I then remembered he kept one to go on truffle digs! He said he had a cat though? Where were the common pets? Ah, there it is; here, kitty, kitty, when I saw it was a ferret! It was doing this weird dance, it hopped then bumped into me I wigged out, then stepped right on the tail of that poor kitty!! It lunged at me and I fell back onto aquarium glass of course it had to teeter totter and I was too late, alas!! It just hit the marble floor, then I heard that sickening crash Mousies all over me!!! Shook my head till I got whiplash The cat was now scratching me, I was screaming 'till my throat was sore, This was a total nightmare, that snake was blocking that damn door!! My eyes were like leaking faucets, I had thick tears, I didn't know? When I wiped off my cheeks, I found out it was icky guano!! Boohoo, sniffle, snuffle--am I never getting out of here?!? Dang Chris says he'll be back in a week, will just drown myself in beer. * paniki=bats ** for Sharon's Pet-sit Panics contest
