My Best Pet

This one was inspired by "Pets" contest (But was written in an unacceptable form) I use to have a dog A rabbit, pig and frog A couple of ferrets and a cat Although I trained them well There's something I must tell There is one, that's the smartest of the pack When I found him it was sad In conditions awful bad Just living in trash found 'round his place Abhorrent to the eye Among the fleas, the ticks and flies I couldn't help falling for that face He appeared to be alone So I took and brought him home And I started to train him right away He learned very fast Not a thing beyond his grasp But no one had to teach him how to play Now, he can open doors Pick things up off the floor He's even learned how to wipe his feet And, he likes to take a bath And he's very good at math I trained him by using little treats Today, he is my hero Who came a long way from that zero And he tops the charts in loyalty Some years, have now gone by And I'll tell you filled with pride A Better Husband, you won't ever see Jerry T Curtis Nov 9, 2014
