I've got opossums under the pillows

Bears under the bed

Wallabies in the windows

It's doing in my head!

 

I have llamas in the living room

Bats in the bath

Tigers under the table

All I seem to do is laugh...

 

I have kangaroos in the kitchen

Hedgehogs in the hall

Lizards on the linoleum

This won't do at all!

 

I have alligators in the atrium

Dingoes in the den

Ants in the attic

My patience is growing thin!

 

All these creatures have to go

I have a lot of cleaning up

I think it's safe to say-

I should have stuck with a pup!

This is lovely, I could see this illustrated as a children's book to teach them reading and animals.  Cute and catchy.

Thanks.. I could see it illustrated too but that's a bit beyond my abilities for illustrating.. would be fun to try though!  Thanks so much for reading it!

Thanks so much for reading it. I like writing child like poems. ~Wonder what that says about me? Perhaps that I am easily amused.  Again, thanks  so much for reading it and your comment.  LG

ps: I added another verse

Enjoyed that verse, too! It's nice to keep a child's perspective, clarity of thinking! Rhiannon

Four legs are better than two!

Two legs are better than four!  Yup, that's politics!
