My Pet Beast

I make sure my pet is on a leash
The size of my pet is beyond belief
You’ll need a giant scoop just to curb it right
And muzzle its mouth or it just might
Devour my neighbor with delight

Oh it has enough! I see the beast. It's huge and ALL TEETH. I see him well enough to know that I'd cross the street if I met him.

Thank you, Edlynne. I was afraid for awhile because it didn't have enough imagery.

I think he is a refreshing change from Steven Harper. Time will tell of course, I will wait to determine my final verdict.

Hi Cheri, Thank you. I'm sure you'll agreed me that last minute poems are the best. After seeing SKAT'S photo, it reminded me of a pet and I quickly wrote this poem.
