Not a Dog!

I don’t want a dog or a bird that says: “TWEET”,

I don’t want a rabbit to crunch with sharp teeth,

I’m bored of those gerbils, I’m fed up with fish;

an unusual pet is my very first wish. A dragon to puff out huge flames with a ROOOOAAARRRRR,

a snake who can scare all my friends at the door,

a gremlin who’d chatter, pull faces at me,

a pixie to take to my Granny’s for tea.But what I’d like best is a horse that has wings;

I’d leap on his back and we’d fly to the swings.
