This is a prophetic poem. Next will be the letter, from an anonymous neighbour, telling you that you are a negligent parent for not providing your child with the life-enriching experience of owning a puppy. (This letter will be full of mis-spellings, have no stamp and bear the unmistakable hallmarks of its author.) Alternatively, Fred may try Billy's trick of becoming the object of desire (eating dinner from a bowl on the floor and not going out of the house without a leash) until the real thing materialises.

Not much wrong with that.
Geez man, Fred is a much better poet than the rest of us.
Regular Zhuangzi.
