October 1st, 2005 — Poems for Children
I spent last night at Mary’s house.
Her little brother is a rat!
He told me his pet snake got loose
And that it swallowed Mary’s cat.
He said it ate their neighbor’s dog
And both their rooster and their hen.
He told me as I went to bed
That his pet snake was loose again!
