Birthday Present

by Harshita Das aged 11

I got a bear for my birthday
My dad thought it was fun
Mom got me a kitten
She thought I’d always wanted one

My sister bought me a monkey
It was naughty, the monkey
And my brother went one step further
He brought me a donkey

My aunt got me a dog
My uncle got me a cat
My grandpa brought something more
And it was a bat

Anne bought me a horse
Mike gave me a pup
The only normal present I got
Was a tiny teacup

So if you’re animal sick
Don’t be lazy
Don’t let your family know
That you’re animal crazy!
