I want a pet, I really do, I want a pet and I don’t

care who!

My mother says pets make a mess but I say “Please, my pet will be the best!”

I’m not quite sure which pet I’ll get. I’m not

quite sure, at least not yet!

?

I want her to say it’s OK, what can I do to get a pet

today?

Tell me which you think she’ll choose, if we give her choices we cannot

lose!

A darling, snarling dog?

A prissy, pretty, princess of a kitty?

A crazy, colorful parakeet?

Bountiful, beautiful fish?

A sticky, slimy, slithering snake?

You tell me which pet is king and for that pet I’ll

do anything!
