Mr Alphabet’s Pets
an A -Z poem by Chloe Gilholy
Alligators munch on
broccoli behind the
cabbage pack.
Dark poisons in disguise;
envy in their eyes.
Frogs escape the fungus,
greets the grapes,
hops on herbs and
ivy vines –
jungle days are over!
kiwi and kale for
lizards sleeping on
moss moulds
nocturnal beings
oozing with style
Pepper the parrot’s
quiff sways with grace.
She rocks her feet and
shakes as if there’s a
tango in the cage.
Unripe bananas and
viridian vegetables
wolfed down by
Xander the monkey.
You can’t miss his face!
Zachery Alphabet loves them all!
