A Pet Goat

Lottie has a pet goat.
She keeps it in the woodshed.
Lottie’s goat has two horns which bend backward.
He has a bearded chin, too.
This goat is playful and quite tame.
Sometimes the goat likes to be petted.
At other times he doesn’t want to be touched at all.
Sometimes Lottie’s goat is very friendly.
But oftentimes he is ugly and cross.
His actions are different at different times.
He walks, stops short, runs or leaps.
Sometimes he comes to you and sometimes he runs away from you.
Lottie enjoys her goat, and thinks that he is an interesting pet.
