ode to the otter

...in a lovely building on green street,

twas a twist of fate,

who knew my jolly neighbor would end up as my mate?

i knew it was meant to be and thought it a bit funny,

when i found out that growing up, we each had a pet bunny.

i am so very grateful that he entered my world,

with his sweet eyes and his luscious head of curls.

so silly together, he always makes me smile,

he's even run with raven and completed the 8-mile.

he's wonderfully loving and generous to all creatures

my mom loves him very much, but that's not his best feature!

he's brilliant and bright,

with an appetite for life

he's generous and sweet

he knows how to roast beets,

day in and day out, he sweeps me off my feet!

i love you, jonny otter!
