Animals in my Family Tree Challenge
by Brenda Ross.
Challenge #2
The challenge is to write short poems,
pretending that animals or insects have human relationships.
Said the chicken to the hen:
My life's a shamble
They took my
CHILDREN
and now they're scrambled.
MOMMY are we white with black
or are we black with white?
It doesn't matter how you say it,
either way is right.     
My little baby DAUGHTER
I hope you will come back
It's dangerous in Sheri's house
She'll cook you for a
snack.
My fluffy little NEPHEWS
with tails like cotton puffs
I'll hide you from the humans
or you'll become earmuffs.
My NIECE you were a tadpole 
You looked like squirmy gel
Before evolving gracefully,
you looked like a sperm cell . 
  
You're my precious SON
The product of my seed
You're worth your weight in gold,
though you're not pedigreed
I love you more than kibble
You are my favorite mutt
I love you more than words can say
That's why I lick your butt.
Forgive me, darling WIFE
I'm sorry that I cheated
The beautiful young leopard
just got me overheated
I really couldn't help it
That cat gave me the hots
I guess I'll cheat again
since I'll never change my spots.
I scratch my head and ask you DAD:
Why are we in a zoo
And who made up those awful words:
Monkey see, monkey do.
GRANDPA so majestic
Your trunk, it hangs so long
It drags across the floor,
just like my boyfriend's schlong.   
My WIFE is oversized   
She ears a size 18
Even though she is a pig
she'll always be my queen.
My SISTER'S big with child 
She lives deep in the jungle
And when her baby's born,
I'll be a monkey's
UNCLE
You look like you have measles,   
my
GRANDMA ladybug
I think I caught them from you
when you gave me a hug.
My AUNT the ant, so old and smart    
She taught this lesson from the start:
If children try to step on ants
I'll crawl inside their underpants.
The worm, she was full of grins    
She was happy from all her sins
She started to laugh
Cut her baby in half
And now she has two little
TWINS
I'm begging Judge, your honor  
To throw old Tom in jail
He's such an awful
HUSBAND
He's always chasing tail
I want a quick divorce
He's always on the prowl
Each night the females come around
and tempt him with a howl
