My pet

This is my pet
The one I never had.

I saw it on TV, next at the Zoo
It was promised to me
Dad said "fine" and pet my head.

What do you think?
Nothing as I woke up

Hey, I yelled, how about it?
You made a promise!

He had a stupid grin on his face
Good morning love, was his reply,
Scrambled eggs or porridge?

I refused to eat
First my pet,
You said you would arrange it.

I hate you, I screamed as he left for work.

I sit in front of the telly and watch.
My pet has more courage than dad.
Like it I will fight.
