Your Poetry Dot Com - A Letter To My Pets

To my pets, while living in my home you must follow a few steps,
ONE, the litter box is not the beach, don't dig in and find something to eat,
Contrary to your belief the stairs were not built by NASCAR,
No need to race me down, cause if I trip and fall I'll lose the fight with the ground,

TWO, my leg is not a scatching post, don't dig in cause it will hurt,
The bathroom does not have an escape door,
I don't need your company, I won't sneak out, and end up on the bottom floor,
Two o'clock in the morning is not the time to tell me you need to go out,
And don't drink from the toilet and come lick me in the mouth,

THREE, don't dig holes in the backyard, this isn't Alcatraz, you won't get far,
Don't curl up between my legs and go to sleep,
Cause when something gets excited flesh and claws don't agree,
Don't chase cars, cause some aren't going anywhere and they hit hard,

If you follow these rules we will have a happy life together,
If you don't I will give you away to Helen Keller,
So come on and give me a kiss, but brush your teeth,
Because that toilet seat is nasty if you ask me.

Forever Faithful
The Phantom
