Poems (Barbara White)/Our Pet Dog and Cat
Our Pet Dog and Cat
Donald is ten years and Charlie is seven,
As a pup and a kitten to me they were given;
Many a laugh we had watching them play,
When they used to wrestle for two hours each day;
The one would not quit till the other was out,
When they were having their wrestling bout;
They would tumble and toss with all their might,
To see who would win in their daily fight;
But now that they are both too old to play,
I will guard and attend to them while I may.
