Pets Bring Joy
Pets bring joy
To either girl or boy
A dog or a cat
A fish or a rat
They are always there
And they always care
You run and play
and frolic all day
They don’t mind if you’re shy or outgoing
All they care is that you are there
They might live in a tank or a cage
but they don’t rage
When you’re sad or lonely your pet is there
to comfort you and to share their love
They might not talk back
but they listen to every word that you can pack
In their heart they do not want to part
with the girl or boy who gives them so much joy
Since you love them
they act like a gem
And bring you joy
with just a little toy
