Day VI, Sechs, Sixte--Limerick--I Want!

I'm going to do a limerick today, since I have no idea which poem comes next. A limerick goes roughly AABBA. Lines 1,2, and 5 are usually 7 or 8 syllables. Lines 3 and 4 are usually 5 syllables. So here it is:

 I want!

There was a young boy with a guppy

Who wanted a horse and a puppy

He asked for a pig,

A cat dancing a jig,

And a hedgehog that fit in a cuppy.

He asked for a miniature deer,

A coatimundi and a bear.

His mother said no

They'd have nowhere to go

All those things simply cannot live here.

So the boy went and got a big box

And he filled it with food and some socks.

He went out in the wilds

To commune with pet childs

Now he hobnobs with birds and a fox.
