Funny and Silly Poems "Icky" and "New Pet"

ICKY!

What's brown with legs and slimy goo?
I don't know either, it's on your shoe.

New Pet

I have a pet goldfish.
I got him today!
They gave him to me
'Cuz my dog ran away.

My mom says that a fish
Is a much better pet,
It's supposed to be cleaner
And it won't need a vet.

But I'm not so sure,
Mom seems to be stretching.
I can't figure out
How to get my fish fetching.

So I'll give him a treat,
Maybe some bread,
And tonight he can sleep
On the end of my bed.
