Jimmy's Menagerie
by Shelby M. Forrest


Ten year old Jimmy has lots of pets
He doesn't want us to forget
He has two dogs, he has two cats.
He also has a little rat.

Sassy Socks and little Bear,
Like frisky cats, run everywhere
They tease the dogs both night and day
Until the dogs chase them away.

The nose of the Dachshund, Charlie Brown
Always seems to be hanging down,
Just a few inches above the ground
His weiner dog stomach is usually found

A St. Bernard and a Dachshund seem
A most peculiar doggy team.
Bajo looks like a great big clown
As he chases after Charlie Brown.

The little rat keeps out of the way
While the doggies and kitty cats will play,
But he sits up like saying 'please'
To ask you for a piece of cheese.
