My Best Friend
My Best Friend
Whenever I run errands for my mom
And have to walk through places big and wide,
I never worry and I’m always calm,
Because I have my best friend by my side.
He runs ahead to see the path is clear,
Then rushes back and circles once around.
He gives a little bark as he draws near;
It’s such a welcome, happy little sound.
One day I took a short-cut through the trees
And lost my way within the shaded wood.
But then my best friend found the way with ease,
And led me home as quickly as he could.
I never want to lose my way again,
And so I’ll always stay by my best friend.
Picking a Kitten
Picking a Kitten
Of all the choices little girls must make,
Of what to wear and what to play for fun,
Of whether to eat bread or to eat cake,
A kitten is the most important one.
You can’t just choose a kitten on a whim;
You must examine every little puff,
To see if she likes you or you like him,
And if the kitten has sufficient fluff.
The day I chose my kitten I was dressed
In Sunday best; I even brushed my hair!
I wanted mama cat to be impressed,
And know her baby would receive such care.
It only took two hours, maybe three.
I didn’t choose my kitten; he chose me!
