Festival Of The Pet Poem by Marilyn Lott

We had pets of every size
Temperament and breed
Line up to show off
Given everything they need

Put your head up high
And walk a steady pace
Please be good and proper
So you won’t be a disgrace

“That’s a good boy, Fido”
“Sit when you are told”
Some are still young puppies
And some are rather old

Some forget their manners
Busy sniffing and snorting
“Behave now, ” they are told
As the owner is escorting

‘Kerchief ‘round their necks
To decorate their cute self
Hoping to get a trophy
To set upon a shelf

But it’s really lots of fun, folks
To watch these dogs perform
Entertaining us for an afternoon
With their unique kind of charm!
