Poem: Me Pet Dislikes

robert_allen · Post by **robert_allen** » 28 Apr 2009, 15:13

Me pet dislikes the neighbours
when they bang upon the wall,
me pet dislikes graffitists
with their aerosolish scrawl.
Me pet dislikes Kit-e-Kat,
dog biscuits, marrowbone.
Me pet doesn't want for Trill or nuts
and doesn't growl or groan.

Me pet dislikes demolition men;
doesn't wallow in a bog.
me pet's not veg or animal,
though a bit of him's a frog.
Me pet's name it is Alfred
and, unlike other pets,
he doesn't need no exercise
or visits to the Vet's.

He's much opposed to climbin' trees
and is quite averse to water,
and unlike most of Alfred's ilk
he's not engulfed by mortar.
He doesn't fetch the daily paper,
retrieve a stick or lick
but Alfred is a solid friend
as Alfred is a brick.

Regards

I'm with Dream Weaver Robert ... how does the froggy allusion operate?
But...........I love ya work....a bit of well informed, humorous doggerel (and I mean this in the nicest of ways...I'm a fan of the form), well expressed. I'm off now to try my hand at using a similar form with reference to another trend/fad :the Rubick's cube. I hope you and Dream weaver will appreciate my efforts. You've inspired me!
