Pet Shop

 PET SHOP


tom went down

to a pet shop 

on the outskirts of town


he walk around

admiring the pretty

persian, bengal and siamese kitties


they purred, pranced and preened 

in their individual confines

as he admired each one


satisfied after a stroke here

and a stroke there

he went on his way


all the while a cock-a-too squawked a mocking refrain

"lookin' for love...lookin' for love"

(in all the wrong places)
