Jane Meyer - An Ode to My Pets (school assignment 7th)

Squeakers: Captain Jack, is my loving black cat.
He was traumatized at very young age,
And now he hides under the bed like a frightened bat.
He’s better now and understands he gets pet when comes out of his internal cage.

Lucky, the you, energetic kitten.
She roams the house like the dominant feline,
But I still remember when she was the size of a mitten.
At times she’s rebellious, but I know she’ll always be mine.

Tia, the beautiful mother of the two above plus seven more.
While she was pregnant, she looked like a cow,
But now she is the drama mama I love and adore.
For a stray mother of nine, all I can say is oh wow!

Tweety, the bird that absolutely loves to make sound,
I guess he’s not really at fault, for he usually just joins in,
To all the noise he hears going around.
He definitely earned his name and tweet enough to make your head spin.

Mewful, the biggest and fattest of all.
He likes to sleep atop the bed.
Be warned if you want him moved, for once you pick him up, you’re likely to fall.
If asked to describe him, I’d say dumb and heavy as led.

My happy and energentic dog, Nikki,
Is a medium sized, thirty-seven pound animal.
A better name for her could be Licky.
As soon as I met her, I knew she would be my favorite mammal.
