Rumpled
head,
A
shiny nose
Pointy
little furry toes!
Beady
eyes,
A
bright pink tongue
Chewing
a biscuit, this creature lies!
Is
it a monster?
Did
it just roar?
What
on earth is the thing coming through the door?
It
eyes me across the room-
A
twisted tail,
Paws
with many a sharp nail,
Heaven,
save me from this creature of doom!
My
hands tremble
As
from its throat comes a rumble…
I
get so scared I took a tumble-
Falling
onto a chair, making my room shambles.
Mamma
appears like an angel of grace-
“Look
at our new dog!
Isn’t
he cute, just look at that darling face!”
I
almost faint in surprise at the thought,
As
the ‘dog’ chases a mouse,
Could
that awful creature have been brought
To
stay in my house?
It
stared at me through chocolate eyes,
I
thought, ‘I wish I was saying to it my goodbyes!’
Mother
stroked it’s furry skin,
And
opened for it a pet food tin.
How
on earth could she find that cute?
It
jumped and growled,
And
put it’s muddy paw on my precious flute!
In
the anger to retrieve it,
I
stepped close to the creature, yes, next to it!
It
nuzzled against me and licked my ear,
I
almost jumped out of my skin in fear.
It
pounced on me with a little whine-
It’s
shiny little ears so pristine!
Then
it looked at me like it was trying to say,
I
hugged him and whispered,
“I
think we may be friends- and now I won’t mind if you stay!”
