It's another
frosty morning,
No different
than the last...
My animals
all line up,
Watch for my
shadow cast.
And when I open
up the door,
To step a
bit inside...
The cats and
dogs come running,
To form
a circle wide.
I call to them
'Good Morning,
I'll bet you
want to eat'...
Then bend to pet
each one in turn,
They see that as
a treat.
From another
room inside the barn,
The
goats all bleat and cry...
A crowing
rooster, honking goose,
Make me emit a
sigh.
What would they
do without me?
For I see to all
their needs...
As I fill each
pan before me,
With assorted
tasty feeds.
There are chunks
made just to please the dogs,
Tiny stars
designed for cats...
Grain
made just for the chickens,
Some for the
goats fed last.
From every nook
and cranny,
They gather for
the spread...
A special treat
just now and then,
Of dried rolls
and old bread.
Every day they
come to greet me,
Wait as I
perform the deed...
Of setting out
the banquet,
On which
they all will feed.
