If you were going to get a pet
what kind of animal would you get.
A soft-bodied dog, a hen
Feathers and fur to begin it again.
At the end of the day, when it gets dark,
I saw an animal in the park.
Bring it home to give to you
I have seen animals break in two.
You were hoping for something soft
and loyal and clean and wondrously careful.
A form of otherwise vicious habit
Can have long ears and be called a rabbit.
Dead, died, will die, want,
Morning, midnight, I asked you
If you were going to get a pet
What kind of animal would you get.
