The Dear Three
Oh, how I love
the dear three
I can’t get
enough of!
Any day -
not one pet
could there be
as sweet as they.
Each day they’re here when life gets hard.
My pup so cute and small;
one cat with yellow eyes
with great pride I regard.
One cat, curled-eared and white,
is clever, I surmise.
Those three – I love them all.
They are my comfort and delight.
(Each stanza has a rhyme scheme of A/B/C/A/D/C/B/D)
