My Fish | Saoirse Lynch

My fish is as
golden as a crown.

He hides behind
the rocks and
jumps out at me
as if he’s saying boo!

He eats fish food.
He is like a gymnast.

He smells
like seaweed.

He looks like a dollar.

My Cat | Lola Beck

My cat has a red silky nose.
Her whiskers are as sharp as a needle.
She eats cat food and chicken.

She has silky fur.
She sleeps in my wardrobe.

She touches noses with the next door neighbour’s cat.

My Dog | Henry McKenzie Harper

He is as black as
the night sky.

He smells like perfume.

He is as fast as a cheetah
and every time I eat meat
he eats it, not me.

He feels like
a kitten.

He runs most of the time.

He sounds like a horse.

My chick | Kaelin Spence

My chick is as crazy as a clown.
He jumps on the fence.
He jumps on King Tui
that’s what I like about that chick.

He pecks at grass and grain
and he is as soft as my silk pillow.

He sounds like a baby bird.
He is very black
and his feet are yellow.

He smells like branches
because he climbs on trees.

My cats | Joe Bryant

I have five cats that feel like rugs and
they are as white as a big fat white light.

They are as frisky as a bat
and as fast as a racing rat.

My cats smell like
old rotten pineapple pizza.

My cats eat birds.
My cats scratch a lot.

They chase rats
and act like they’re crazy
acrobats.

My Dog | Francesca Lyons

My dog is as soft
as a furry jacket.

He is as crazy
as a clown.

He runs around
the house all day
I would say.

He chases cats
up and down trees.

He petrifies
birds sometimes.

My dog
gobbles up his food
like a greedy pig.

He tries to climb up trees.
We lost him once
or maybe twice.
He snorts like
a pig.

My dog smells
like shampoo
and sometimes
he smells like
rotten fish.

My Cat | Roan Dooley

My cat is as grey as a cloud.

He can’t wait to go outside
and sometimes
he doesn’t know where his food is
and he has one little ear.

My chickens | Rory Maher

My chickens are as fit as a marathon runner.
They are as noisy as a motor-cross car.
They are as strong as a dagger.
Their beaks are as sharp as a knife.
They will eat anything.
