Pet Costumes

Ma dressed the pig as Elvis one fall,
He oinked “Thank ya” and stole the hall.
Our dog wore a tutu and tiny shoes,
Danced in circles and peed with cues.
Pa made a hat for the rooster’s head,
Now he crows with rhythm and disco instead.
Granny stitched a bonnet for the goat,
He ate it, then chewed Ma’s petticoat.
We wrapped the cat in pirate gear,
He clawed the mayor and drank his beer.
The cow wore a cape on Halloween,
Flew through a fence and caused a scene.
Tried to dress the mule like Uncle Fred,
The mule sued for slander and kicked the shed.
Even the fish got a tiny crown,
Now he floats regal while upside-down.
We love our pets in ruffles and lace,
Even when they poop in a sequin case.
