O is for otters

If I had an otter

I’d keep him in my bathroom;

He could curl up in a corner

In a little towel nest

 

If I had an otter

I’d fight him for a fish pie

I’d eat the mashed potato

And he could have the rest.

 

If I had an otter

I’d try and make him giggle

And his happy little furry face

Would put a smile on mine

 

If I had an otter…

But I don’t have an otter.

Because otters live in rivers,

or just inside my mind.
