My Dog is my best friend
But does he feel the same?
When our exploits go awry
It's ME who takes the Blame
I treat him with respect
No lame booties or weird coats
So the least that HE could do
is chuckle at my at jokes
Do Polar Bears get sick of white?
So bland and kind of sad
Perhaps they'd like some underwear
Bedazzled or in Plaid

They could wear it so discretely
Not too flashy or too boasty
An added splash of color
that will keep their backsides toasty
At school do Bee's get nervous
when it's recess time?
How do they keep from being stung
when standing in a line

Maybe...wearing protection
Like some gum or ball or wax
So then they can play leap frog
and finally just relax
Do sheep enjoy warm woolly socks
in the bitter cold night air?
Would they jumble up their patterns
Or keep them matching pairs?
And what if they misplace one
As I always seem to do...
Do they replace it with a slipper
or a plain old tennis shoe?
So when they're really thirsty
And there's no one else around
Do little cows drink Chocolate Milk
That turns their mustache brown

With no hands it must be tricky
to maneuver for a sip
They should use a silly straw
To route it to their lips
All day long fish swim in schools
To get their strokes refined
But what if one can't get it right?
Is he simply left behind?
Does he keep safe in the shallows?
Or cling on to the pier?
I bet he uses floaties
or some other safety gear.
When spider kids eat messy treats
Does it make their Mom turn red
Eight legs can get all gooey
And sticky up the web
Neighbors might get stuck you know
Or friends just passing by
Next time they just should wipe their feet
On the nearest fuzzy fly
Armadillo is so lucky
As he rolls along the plains
I'll bet he's making lots of friends
and never once complains
He has more friends that he can count
Enough to fill Grand Hall
Who wouldn't want to play
with a friend who IS the ball!
O'dear sweet Opossom
HE's such a curious one
Upside down and in a tree
Does he do it just for fun?
He'd better hold on tightly
Through the wind and rain and hail
HE wouldn't want to hit his head
if his weary tail should fail.
Hummingbirds are fast as jets
And too busy a for song
Perhaps the only type of bird
Who only HUMS along
Or maybe the hum
is just a question
like HUH, or HMMM,or WHO
I'll bet he just wants answers
Just like ME and YOU.
Now I have to wonder
Do they think about US too?
Do the critters puzzle
'bout the silly things we do?!!
