Chuck Audette - Pet Responsibilities

'The cat is on fire! '
I loudly shout
calmly you say
'Well, put it out'

'The dog ate my glass eye'
I scream frantically
'it'll come out' you reply
'just you wait and see'

'My fish are all sick'
I say, sadly hushed
'It's ok' you quip
'no need to get flushed'

'They've been chewed pretty well,
but your new shoes I found'
'That's it! ' you yell
'take 'em all to the pound! '
