Pet Sock

I have so many allergies I can’t even count
So I couldn’t get a dog or a cat
No Mice
Rabbits
Snakes
Or birds
Not even an iguana with cool shades and a hat

So I asked mom and dad if I could get a pet rock
They’re simple to care for and they never shed
but they went and got me a smelly pet sock
to keep my foot warm in his head
