My Pets

My Dogs

How happy my dogs are to find a tree. 
Raising one leg, what fun it is to pee. 
They are a disciplined crew. 
All three line up in a queue. 
When they are done, a flowing stream you’ll see!

My Cat

I have a pet, a little tabby cat
She likes to curl inside my frilled brown hat
She has bristle like whiskers
Not strong as that of tuskers
In daylight she sprawls on my woolly mat

they sound adorable and are wonderful companions for you. The imagery made this poem 'real.'

I like how you wrote about both. The tinkling crew has made it a sport. Love to think of the cat curled up in the brown hat.
