Josie Whitehead’s Poems

This is an article to read before you decide to buy pets for your children.
We have always had pets in our family and I have received as much love from them
as I have given them.
I have always broken my heart when they die and anyone who has had a wonderful pet
who has died will fully understand how I feel.
However, with the keeping of pets goes a big responsibility, and I would never have gone
to work not knowing where my pets were or what they were doing when I was not there.
Cats, in particular, can do a lot of damage when left to their own devices all day, and large
numbers of our lovely birds are killed as a result.
I believe that cats can be trained not to kill – I have always trained mine.
This will bring out much discussion I think.

What sort of pets do you like best?
The active ones, or those who rest?
The small ones or the tall ones,
The shy ones or the spry ones?
What sort of pet do you prefer?
One who barks or one who purrs?
The fluffy ones or scruffy ones?
The lazy ones or crazy ones?
I like the one who loves me most –
The one who always shares my toast.
The waggy one, the shaggy one,
The “take me for a walkie” one.
