Ten pets
Two men named Ben and Ned wanted a pet.
“Instead of one pet, let’s get ten pets!” Ned said.
They got a red hen who laid eggs,
An elephant they named Peggy and eight puppies.
They fed their pets well and said:
“How fun! Later, let’s take them to the vet.”
Peggy ate a lemon and a melon,
The red hen pecked some bread,
The puppies licked their legs and slept.
The oor was wet. Ben fell and bumped his head.
He went to the doctor and the doctor said:
“Young man, go to bed! I know best, you need some rest.
Let Ned take your ten pets to the vet!”
