Poem 1

I have a lion, funny face lion
He controls everyone at home
He eats a lot of meat and roars when I disturb him
He is out most of the day
I call him dad

                    I also have a dove
                    She works all the day too, but she works at home
                    She is soft, gentle, kind and cares for her family
                    She is always there when I need her
                    I call her mum

I also have a peacock
She has a head with lots of colour
She has green eyes and beautiful feathers
She has a mop of hair at the front
I call her sister

                    I have a kitten
                    He is small and smooth
                    He has tiny little eyes and a wet nose
                    He drinks milk a lot and cries a lot
                    I call him baby brother

Then  there is me
I'm the black sheep
But I'm not black
                                                                                                Adopted from
                                                                                             The Animal House
                                                                                             By Sandy Erechin
