Virginia Gelok Poet Rhyme

The Pet Store

Did you see that sweet little puppy,
So cute with curly hair?
Or how about that big Shepherd?
I can't pick one, it's not fair!
That's a darling little kitten,
I could dress it, that would be fun.
Aahh look at that ol' boy,
He looks lonely, is he the one?
There are budgies and colorful parrots,
Mice, gerbals and a fluffy brown bunny rabbit.
There are canaries that don't stop singing,
Even a cockatiel who has a  bad habbit.
Over in a dark spot, coilled up, is a snake,
It's not as big as the lizard there,
And a salamander posed very still,
And the chamelian does'nt move a hair. 
I go in every chance I get
Because I want a pet of my own.
But I can't decide which is the one
I want everyone that I'm shown!
