Animals Commandeered My House

Raccoons are in the parlor Opossums are on the run, Copperheads are in my harbor They are having lots of fun Chickens are in my windowsills White tail foxes in the hall Sweet piglets in the grist mill, They are out to have a ball. Koi fish in the kitchen sink Unicorns surround the yard, Rooster just gave me a wink, He has fallen pretty hard. Husband moved three years ago, Animals too much for him. Spider webs are giant so There are no visits from the kin. Whales are in my bathtub, Cockroaches are in the kitchen. Dogs and cats fight over grub, T-rex’s toe is itch’ in. Ants have commandeered the living room. Sloths have taken over my bed. I frankly cannot find any room To lay my weary head.

You must have an awesome big bathtub if it can fit a whale, also I'll foster a unicorn or two!

I decided it would be amazingly fun to write something a child might like, and I am so glad I found a kindred spirit, Michelle.
