PRABHAKAR MACHWE
He brought a puppy first
Which grew old, bold and ran away
He then had a few cats,
He gave them away to friends.
Then he kept some golden fish
They died in the bowl;
Next a pair of parrots, one flew away
The other was picked up by the neighbour’s cat.
But this habit of keeping pets
Was such a habit of keeping pets
It was not lessened,
I hear nowadays he has kept a few men
As pets
As mere epithets!
What will happen to them?
(Probably the neighbour’s big bombs will blow them)
And yet they will not lessen in number.
