Secret Pet Wishes
Fish:
I want to be furry, aloof, proudly fat
and lazily curl on your lap like the cat
Cat:
I want to be loyal and join you for jogs
and bark in the park, at a stick, like the dog
Dog:
I want to be shiny with fins full of swish
and swim round and round, round and round like the fish
I want to be furry, aloof, proudly fat
and lazily curl on your lap like the cat
Cat:
I want to be loyal and join you for jogs
and bark in the park, at a stick, like the dog
Dog:
I want to be shiny with fins full of swish
and swim round and round, round and round like the fish
