A scary pet
A scary pet for me, please bring
A pet that will bite, scratch or sting
A crocodile that will open its mouth wide
No one will trouble me when he is by my side
A slithering cobra, black and dark
An armed octopus or atleast a shark
A dinosaur that has many horns
A porcupine that has sharp thorns
A piranha with rows of teeth
A centipede with lots of feet
An owl with staring eyes
A taruntula that eats giant flies
I know you will not bring even one from these
So may I have a cuddly puppy please!
