Exotic Animals



Your never truly happy without a monkey in your life
 The monkey will come with you in your afterlife

You need a frog wherever you may go
So says Edgar Allen Poe

You should have spiders, spiders galore
For they really do not look pallor

Parrots are really what you need
If you want to strive to succeed

If you want a little furry friend
Go for a mouse, it will not be you fiend

If you want a fish for a pet
It won't have to see the vet

Worms are slimy, some say it's true
But they will cheer you up when your feeling blue

A rhino would surely be a good pal
Maybe I'll name it Sal

A penguin from the artic would be very cool
I'd have to get is a swimming pool

Of all this list I don't know what to choose
Ha, ha, this is just a clever ruse
