“Are we there yet, are we there yet?”
the excitement ringing in my ear.
we arrived at the pet store.
buying my first pet like my first present.
trying to find something fuzzy,
or scaley.
i can’t find the right one.
i looked through all the aisles.
“Did we check the back?”
there it was…
spikly, spotted, smooth.
i found perfect pet.
i look down at the name tag…
it said…
Godzilla.
