Pet May Be Claimed By Owner
Pet May Be Claimed by Owner
By Elton Camp
I found your pet in my backyard
Catching it proved to be very hard
How you’ve cared for it is a shame
For it isn’t even a little bit tame
Why, I even have to hold it tight
Because it persists in trying to bite
No name tag or collar does it wear
Such information you ought to share
I haven’t been able to get it to eat
Even when I offered a doggy treat
So come and claim it right away
It would be best if done today
It’s a rattlesnake five feet long
So to someone it must belong
If there’s a reward, let me know
If not, I’ll still be glad to see it go
