Mister P
My puppy
One day met
One odd pet!
With a swell
Sticky smell
Zigzag wags
Tails play tag
Yipped, to say
"How's your day?"
Answered bleat,
"It's been neat!"
Cocked his head
Strangely said!
What dog talks
Without barks?
Short legs pump
Bouncy jumps
Lots of spots
Polka dots
Eyes like girls'
Blue marbles
Chin unsheared
Old-man beard
Oblong jaws
Cloven paws
He's no joke
Mister Goat!
