My Parents Sent Me To the Store
by Kenn Nesbitt
My parents sent me to the store to buy a loaf of bread.
I came home with a puppy and a parakeet instead.
I came home with a guinea pig, a hamster and a cat,
a turtle and a lizard and a friendly little rat.
I also had a monkey and a mongoose and a mouse.
Those animals went crazy when I brought them in the house.
They barked and yelped and hissed and chased my family out the door.
My parents never let me do the shopping anymore

My Brother's Not a Werewolf
by Kenn Nesbitt
My brother's not a werewolf though it often looks that way.
He has to shave his whiskers almost every single day.
His feet are getting furry and his hands are sprouting hair.
His voice is deep and growling like a grumpy grizzly bear.
He often sleeps throughout the day and stays up half the night.
And if you saw the way he eats you'd surely scream in fright.
His clothes are ripped and dirty like the stuff a werewolf wears.
His socks and shirts are shredded and his pants have countless tears.
If you should ever meet him you'll discover what I mean.
My brother's not a werewolf; he's just turning seventeen.
