I wish I had a pet to love,
A pet to call my own.
I'm not sure exactly what I want,
But it has to live at home.
I thought maybe a lizard,
Or perhaps a nice green frog.
Or what about a tortoise?
Or what about a dog?
A bird would suit quite nicely,
And so would a rat.
And I wouldn't mind a porcupine,
Or a nice big fluffy cat.
I'd rather love a little skunk,
Or a big grey elephant.
Mum says it must have a small appetite,
So I'll settle for an ant!
