LEIGH AND LEO: CATS GROW UP SO FAST

Leigh and Leo begot a tiny baby girl; it was a little kitty cat,

The boys named the beautiful, sweet creature Pearl, because Leo's mother's name was that,

Pearl learned to play the tin banjo real well,

Taught by Rumpelstiltskin, the troll from the dell,

Pearl went on tour with a girl banjo band; Leigh and Leo got lonely and fat 

DEAD PET MEMORIES OR GHOSTS

I had goldfish; I had guppies,

I had parrots; I had puppies, 

Most are long, very dead,

They are ghosts in my head,

I see a shrink for some uppies.

LEIGH AND LEO HAD A BIG CRY

Leigh and Leo had a bigly, bigly, bigly cry,

The vet put down their sick hound dog; he had to die,

But, by the next day

The boys were o.k.,

They had a new hound dog puppy; her name was Sky.

GERTY GOT DIRTY, ONE SUMMER DAY

I went white water rafting, one sunny day,

The river was yucky with swirling red clay,

My little dog, named Gerty,

Got her face all dirty,

I washed her face off, once we got to the bay.

PEGGY WAS PARDONED FOR A URINATION VIOLATION

Peggy poodle got a pardon for peeing in the park,

Bulldog Bernie ratted out Peggy with a ruff, ruff bark,

Policeman Paul did respond,

But, of Peggy, he was fond,

Paul blew Peggy a big kiss, but with Bernie, he was snark.

TULIPS FOR ALGERNON.

I had a big tin purple elephant, I named Algernon,

I gave Alger early spring, pink tulips, that he fell upon,

He crushed all the pretty flowers,

Broke them off from their green towers,

I tossed big Al, got a plastic fish, I called him Mastodon.

FRED THE RED HAS GONE TO THE BAY

I had to box and bury my bestest friend, Fred,

My favorite goldfish, only he was more red,

He's now swimming today,

In a heavenly bay,

With all my other goldfish that I have found dead.

FOR THE LOVE OF LARRY: FAT COW ON THE PRAIRIE

I rode my horse out onto the prairie to find a lost cow,

It was my kid Larry's loving pet; I wanted a bow wow,

I spied the cow running through tall, brown grass,

A grizzly bear was chasing the cow mass,

I saved the fat cow with my rifle skill, only one shot, POW!

THE DOG WHO DUG TOO MUCH

I'm a doggy and I dig deep in the dirt; I dig in snow,

I'll dig into anything, even where a doggy shouldn't go,

One day, I felt extremely brave,

I dug into a black bear cave,

Doggy meat makes black bear fur shine, and it also makes it grow.

CANDY BEARS AND THE DANCING DOG

My little dog, his name is Herman, and Herman loves to dance, 

He will dance a Polish polka or a German waltz, romance,

Herman does the twisty twist,

Celtic dancing in the mist,

Herman can even dance ballet, when in a gummy bear trance.

TRINA'S LITTLE GOLDFISH FOUND OUT HEAVEN WAS FULL OF TURDS

Trina bought a 2 inch long goldfish, and put it in a large casserole bowl,

Trina gave her fish lots to eat, because keeping him healthy was her main goal,

The goldfish bloated up 3 inches wide,

Trina found it floating on its right side,

Trina flushed his body to the septic tank, along with his immortal soul.

DOG, CAT AND TIRES

I had four massive, truck tires that I inflated, fat,

My happy dog was impressed, but not so, my pretty cat,

My dog took a pee,

On tires 1 through 3,

My cat laid under tire 4, and was almost squished flat.

I SPILLED MY SODA IN MY GOLDFISH TANK, AND MY GOLDFISH, HE DONE DIED

I cried and cried when my goldfish died, because I spilled my soda pop,

In criminal court, I was fair tried, after being arrested by the goldfish cop,

With my pet I won't grow old,

I'm celled in prison, alone, cold,

I am guilty I must confide, because the tank had no pop, stop, top.

TWIN PEAKS SPREAD IT TO HUNTER CAT

I wandered downstairs, and found some beautiful antiques,

They were loaded with mice, so there were plenty of eeks,

So, I called down my hunter, cat, 

He ate each mouse, right where it sat,

But, my cat got the rabies from a rat named, Twin Peaks.

PRETTY BIRD: WHAT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND, I EAT

Some years ago, I had a most beautiful, colorful, singing bird,

The bright bird knew thirteen foreign operas; I couldn't understand a word,

I told him to sing in my tongue,

He got huffy; his neck got wrung,

I served the pretty bird with stuffing, and mashed potatoes, mixed with curd.

CHOOSE WRONG AND EAT THE DOG

Because, we all love to die young, and starve,

That's the reason we all voted for Marv,

For our supper, we will carve,

The torso, we once called Harv,

Harv is the dog, my brother's called Garv. 

(In America, we don't eat people, except on days that end with "y".

THE CANARY AND THE RAVEN, A CAUTIONARY TALE

I had a big pet raven, and he liked to eat canary,

He used to eat them by the bunch, like a small, yellow berry,

The canary birds worked together,

Netted my raven in bad weather,

Then, they roasted and ate him, in a scene that was real scary.

THE CAT SLEEPING IN THE WINDOW

My cat is sleeping in the window, while we're visiting Southern France,

She is staring at some butterflies, as the afternoon hours advance,

She will soon be sunbeam napping,

As her dreaming legs, start flapping,

She will wakeup just before supper, and do her ballet, stretchy leg, dance.

CECIL DIESEL: THE MATH RAT THAT MOCKS CAT

Cecil Diesel is a very mean, but intelligent rat,

He made my big pussy cat cry, when he said she was too fat,

Cecil is great with my twin kids,

When their math grades were on the skids,

Cecil taught the kids quadratic equations; I'm up with that.

A DOGGIE DADDY

Denny was a doggie daddy, a doggy daddy was daddy Denny,

Denny didn't know how many dogs he had, he lost count after counting three,

Denny gave each dog a bath at night,

Combed their clean hair, then off went the light,

Sometimes when fleas and ticks would survive, Daddy Denny got a snack for free.
