Our Animal Edibles

Our Animal Edibles 
We have baby chicks in our yard
The seed we buy we keep the same
We always buy the kind that's "cheap" 
Because they ask for it by name!

Our dog loves sweet potatoes
And avocados are her style
But we make sure she don't get much
Or on the floor she'll leave a pile!

Our cat eats parts of mice and moles
But there's no need for us to check
We know all the parts that are left
Because he puts them on our deck!

We always keep Pixie our puppy
On a leash and well into view
We don't want her to run away
Or she might end up edible too!

Pat, these come so naturally to you. I'm actually wondering if your mother tongue is limerick. You are a natural alright, LOL.
