By Hook or by Cook

Her name is Meret

and she doesn’t 

thank God!

look like a Ferret!

Her legs are long

and she was 

named after a

great artist now gone.

Read many a book

hot and spicy

food tales galore

Guess she loves to cook.

There’s a book store

we never see her leave

in the city hidden away

always remain at her core.

There is also Fred

I can’t forget him

a handsome Gecko

but he comes second to her ted.

Fluffy is his name

he’s the same age

looking a little worse for wear

but fighting to stay in the game.

She’s 19, last year of being a teen

ask her for help with recipes

no matter where there from

cos Meret will always be keen.
