You Animal, You!

You Animal, You!

What kind of animal are you?
Do you purr, or growl
Sniff or yowl?

It all depends on time and place
At times I act astute
A monkey in a person suit.

Sometimes by day I slink and sly,
A cat that watches passersby,
A knowing glare (familiar’s stare).

A pooch, a friendly wagging tail
That swooshes by
and whips a gale,

A slobber kiss to greet and glee.
That could be
the likes of me.

But by night when lights are low
I soften to a different glow
With kisses I transform,

With bedtime love and hugs galore,
Soft and warm and cuddly so,
To teddy bear, don’t you know!

A teddy is the beast I be.
A teddy bear
And free of fleas!
