Please Can I Have A Pet?

Please can I have pet with a pelt like water? Please can I have a pet with a luscious nose Please can I have a pet who needs no walkies Please don't give me a dog…not one of those Please can I have a pet who steps out sassy Like the Queen of Sheba visiting New York Please can I have a pet with eyes like spitfires? Please don't give me a pig….I don't like pork Please can I have a pet like a high wire leaper? A pet that blows by, light as a summer's blouse A pet as supple as olive oil in a pitcher Please don't give me a gerbil, or a mouse! Please can I have a pet with claws like razors A pet when stroked, that sings like a crystal bowl Please can I have a pet to share dark hours with Please…can I have a cat with a midnight soul?
