The Animal In Me

I would say I work like a dog
But for what it would make my ma
And my reactions may be cat like
But I've never licked my Pa!

I might like to monkey around
But bananas are not my jam
It's true I am wise as an owl
Proved literal by an exam!

I have been called an animal
But she showed a smile at the time
Given a nickel each instance
In truth it would be just a dime!
