How many lines are in the poem below?

april is a dog's dream

the soft grass is growing

the sweet breeze is blowing

the air all full of singing feels just right

so no excuses now

we're going to the park

to chase and charge and chew

and I will make you see

what spring is all about

Does this poem rhyme?

I prefer

warm fur,

a perfect fire

to lie beside,

a cozy lap

where I can nap,

an empty chair

when she's not there.

I want heat

on my feet

on my nose

on my hide.

No cat I remember

dislikes December

inside.
