Escapade of My Pet
A long time ago I had an adorable pet,
his name I fondly gave was Billy.
He liked to lie on the sofa, dripped it wet,
I thought, of him that was silly.
He would never use the assigned place
where he was trained and supposed to pee.
Outside of the house nobody saw his face,
too lazy, inside he always wanted to be.
His insular way of life I didn’t at all mind,
too cute, I wanted him always around me.
With his constant presence I was entwined,
for he became an integral part of my family.
One spring, outside he started daily to run,
my heart broke when after a long wait
one night, home I didn’t find him return.
My neighbor said he ran away with his mate.
