Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

What - They'Re Furries

What They're Furries!!!!!!!

Kids identify that they are pets
Do they sleep in fur lined bassinets
And if they get a chill
Or are feeling quite ill
Do doctors treat them or do vets?

If one crawled in my classroom today
Then needed to pee I would say
“Don’t cock your leg by the door
Or do your poop on the floor”
I’d insist they use a litter tray

I’m allergic to animal fur
I'd worry if student's bark or purr
MY bark's worse than my bite
Furries in schools ain't right
I wonder if others concur!

WTF Contest

(I Wish I could use the real ‘WTF’ for my title!)
