ABEL-CAN ANIMALS SUBSTITUTE HUMAN LOVE?

Well, there is someone for me now- I thought as I bought him home from the pet-shop, My boy had left me last week, Now I have him to kiss my cheek Ah! What a company! I took him in my lap, And showed him my house's little map, Which I had made for the rose now faded, Which was seen by the Fresh Rose whose company greatly to me aided. I named him Abel, By hugging whom I could now sleep-well, I forgot all about my past, For he loved me truly- Without looking for beauty, creed or caste. Yet one day when he was hungry, He bit my newly-purchased skirt's hem-being now violent and angry, When I pulled it back, He tried to bite me as well- I was now taken aback! Then did I sadly realize, That Gold cannot be replaced just by painting your favorite object Yellow, I then went to my room and closed the door, For I realized my folly and did not expect from him favors anymore!
