Our Pet
Beverly Komoda
We found the thing among the trees
behind Muldovan’s shed.
The thing was slightly furry with a
large and lumpy head.
We took it home and fed it milk,
but it refused to drink.
We fed it meat and found it liked
roast beef served rare and pink.
Then, Towser disappeared, and then
we couldn’t find small Ned.
Then, Flora wasn’t present save
the ribbon from her head.
When Mother vanished also, we decided
with much dread,
To return the naughty thing
back behind Muldovan’s shed.
