“Big foot and Little foot were walking their cat fish around Lake City Florida”

Big Foot and Little Foot, side by side,  
Strolled near Lake City with unhurried stride,  
But not alone, for held with care—  
A leashed-up catfish danced in air!

Its golden fins would glimmer bright  
When Lake City's sun was high and light,  
And whiskers twitched with gentle grace  
As it swam, then waddled, in their pace.

The cypress trees hummed with dragonfly wings,  
Spanish moss swayed as Little Foot sings,  
Big Foot chuckled in bassy delight  
Watching their pet's most curious plight.

Past shimmering water and far-flung reeds,  
Through sawgrass patches and wildflower seeds,  
Neighbors all waved, for everyone knew  
When Big Foot and Little Foot wandered through.

The catfish, named Cleo, wore a blue bow,  
Wriggling and giggling everywhere they’d go,  
She’d splash in the puddles, flop in the sand,  
Until back on her leash with a loving hand.

Evening would settle with lavender sky,  
Fireflies dancing as crickets pried,  
Back to their cabin on Cypress Lane,  
Big Foot and Little Foot, done with their game.

For in Lake City, some sights can’t be missed—  
A fish on a leash, a stroll and a twist,  
With friends big and little, and hearts full of cheer,  
Every day brings adventure, and Cleo draws near!
