Poem from when I was 9

I have very mixed feelings about this poem, which I wrote when I was 9. Please enjoy, or at least humor yourself when Little Me rhymed "need" with "feed"!  - Calico Frost

Animals and Equal

There are animals everywhere.

There are animals that are helped,

And animals in need.

There are animals everywhere,

That some need feed.

Some fine,

Some hungry,

Some that are looking for new safe homes.

Some happy in the wild,

And some not.

Every animal are unique,

They really are too,

Even farm ones,

And also pets,

Even animals that aren't discovered yet.

So animals everywhere,

Do what you do,

And don’t worry too much…

Because do what you do,

Because always, always,

You are you.

    and I don't quite have the

    energy

    to write something with quality

    or actually

    sounds good

    so I am waiting for my
