A family pet.

Well our family weren’t allowed pets,

There was good reason as my family had quite a few debts,

The budget was balanced to keep our heads above water,

There was no room for a pet it would put us in deepwater,

So as a family we did without and it was necessary,

We had each other and we were merry,

But as soon as I got a place of my own,

I visited a rescue centre and chose one who looked all alone,

A dog who wanted me to be his friend,

And all came good and it was a happy end,

My mum was not so happy she never understood why,

But the reality was she loved him just as much as I.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏
