FRANKLIN could count by twos and tie his shoes He could sleep alone in his small dark shell He even had a best friend named Bear But Franklin wanted something else He wanted a pet
Franklin had wanted a pet since he was small But whenever he asked May I have a pet please his parents said Maybe someday Franklin waited for a long time He often pretended to have a pet He took Sam his stuffed dog for walks He taught Sam tricks He even helped Sam bury some bones But Sam wasn't a real pet
