My Special Pet

I wish I had a nice little pet,

that's trained and very well taught.

Not the kinds that other kids get,

but a pet that I alone sought.

I'll clean her myself,

(no unpleasant scent)

I'll buy it myself,

to the very last cent.

With a cute, fluffy, tail,

and a snow White back,

and manicured nails,

and the rest is sleek black.

What a beautiful thing,

what joy it'll bring!

Its fragrance is such that poets will sing,

Oh Mom, Oh Dad,

I'd be most glad,

if you'd let me get

a skunk as my pet.
