Buds and Buddies

my fluffy puppy with curly hair
wags the tail on his derriere  
he jumps on my lap in a slapstick scene
licking my face ‘till squeaky clean

his gitty kitty butter ball brother
is a spotted sibling by another mother
that chases red lights up the wall
like a short legged fella ten feet tall

Pete the parakeet perched undisturbed
sits cracking seeds from a sealed reserve 
a cuttlefish bone hangs in his home
to sharpen his beak with precision hone
