Jaws For Pet Contest

No one knows the joy you bring
They wish you weren’t around
The neighbor’s cat was just a “thing”
That moved and made a sound

It’s clear to see, you meant no harm
You thought it liked to play
To suggest, your transfer, to a farm
Well that was harsh to say

And, sure, you like to ride along
No matter where I go
Others seem to think I’m wrong 
But, what do others know

I always say, “Haters, hate”
And you should just do you
It clearly was that bunny’s fate
To be your rabbit stew 

As for daddy’s dinner plate
He left it unattended 
You left the peas, but ate the steak
He ought not be offended

Now, had you ate, the peas instead
He’d have a valid fight
But you helped inflate his manly head
You felt, he grilled, just right 

I feel that some just won’t agree
No matter, your perfection
Crying blind, but surly see
Yours and my affection 

Jealousy’s a deadly sin
But seems to be the cause
For the ruckus over man’s best friend
Who’s known round town, as “Jaws”. 

Rhyme about your favorite pet contest
About my dog, River
