The pet man told me dad.
Turned out, it was an aunt eater,
And now my uncle’s mad!

I love this poem just because it is funny…you know? It’s just different; I mean, you don’t just go and write poems about an anteater eating your aunt. I like it. It’s really funny.
What a cute poem. Growing up I would call me Aunt – “Aunt” Cathy and not Ant Cathy. My friends all thought I was strange. They said it the other way. “Ant” Cathy. My aunt would say, “Ants crawl on the ground, but Aunts are your friend.” Too funny.
