1st Annual Poems About Pets Month

[Mark A Becker]

If ya can't have a pet, then just imagine yourself as an animal.  One of my KidStuff poems:

If I Could Be An Animal

If I could be an animal
anyone of any kind
the only really hard think
would be making up my mind

If I were an antelope
I’d jump and run so fast
or reach the highest branch
if I were a giraffe

I could be a tiny turtle
secure inside my shell
or possibly gigantic
blowing water like a whale

I could be an orange eyed owl
spooky hooting through the night
or perhaps a mighty eagle
super soaring outta sight

I might be a cat
now I’d be good at that
I’d even like most dogs
especially those that sat

I could spin just like a dolphin
in the ocean where I swim
or be funny as a monkey
when I swing from limb to limb

There are so many animals
throughout all creation
and I can be any one I want
in my imagination.
