An Unfortunate Pet Owner

I had to bury my cat today
`Cos he came to a sticky end.
He ran into the road,
In pursuit of a toad,
And a car came fast round the bend.

I had to bury my budgie today,
As we found him dead in his cage.
He gave a short lurch,
And then fell from his perch
And is wasn't because of his age.

I had to bury my mouse today
As he suddenly passed away.
I heard him squeak,
So had a quick peek,
And he was lying dead in the hay.

I had to bury my dog today,
The Family called him `Spot'.
His spots had got bigger,
Which no one could figure,
And he just finished-up as a blot!

You by now may have gathered, I lost all my pets
Which is a careless thing to do.
But not thinking it funny,
I drew out some money,
And set-off to visit a Zoo.

I met with a Keeper, who could have been sweeter,
When I asked if he had anything spare.
He gave me a scowl,
Plus a manky old Owl,
And I went home with never a care.

I had to bury my owl today,
He was a vicious, bad-tempered brute.
It has to be said,
I chopped of his head,
And quite frankly, I don't give a hoot.
