The Adopted Pet

I am not housebroken and I will always bite the vet Never has been spoken by any adopted pet; I will always bark and bark, as I patrol my new house at night So beware all intruders! I am ready to protect and fight. Rules are these! So, I will tell them to you my new master Remember them well and there will never be a disaster, Scraps of food that you drop on the floor they are mine to eat So, watch where you step, or I will trip you or nip at your feet. If you ever neglect or forget me while you are out, or at the store When you return home, there might be a surprise upon your floor, Beware all people and insects that will ever enter into my house Especially you little vermin; I will chase you down…. little mouse. I will not be your pet! But, I will be your best friend and your buddy Please, always love and care for me even when my paws are muddy, And understand this, I am your child, so with me please don't be upset These are the words! That have been spoken, by the adopted pet. Randy L. McClave
