Who’s Over the Fence?

Below are the words that make up the above concrete poem.  They are repeated here just in case the above image fails to load.

Can we be friends, I think we should be.
We could play together, just you and me.
Come for a walk, that would be great. I’d really
love to call you my mate. We can run around
the big yard together. In the sun and rain, in all types
of weather. I’d keep you so warm, you’d scratch
my back, I’ve got a bone we could share as a
snack. It would be so cool, I’ll try not to drool,
and some days we might even swim in the
pool.  Oh this will be grand, this will be
great, I’d love it so much if you’d
be my mate. I’ll get you a mouse
too so you’ll have a toy,

I’ll even let
you call me
your boy.
