Rosie Craddovk
saved a haddock,
kept it in her bath.
.
Laura Lee
rescued a flea,
a wompom, and a giraffe.
.
Richard Tippopotamus…
said he didn’t like animals.
.
Whether it’s wrong,
or whether it’s right,
less people adopt a black cat,
than adopt a white.
.
I’d just like to say,
‘The colour doesn’t matter,
just please rescue a poor cat today.’
My human …
gives me food.
My human ….
gives me water.
My human …
gives me love …
and protection …
and a place to stay …
and so much more.
If your human
doesn’t give you all these things …
then they darn well oughta!
Parrot and Cat
sat still upon the mat,
that they ‘had’ been told to stay on ;
Parrot had grumbled about it,
Cat had just relaxed,
‘It is what it is.’ said the Cat,
and nonchalantly taxed herself not a bit.
The Parrot went over all the things he would say,
when released from the confines, they were;
he’d many a fine word,
that at odd times he had heard,
that would embarrass a mangy old cur.
.
However, Cat was soft,
and began to purr,
so Parrot lay down beside her;
and, soon, they were softly snoring,
happily, a thing upon which the both of them could concur.
The Cat’ and the Apostrophe
was never going to end well.
A lazy life,
A lazy life
without a job to do,
coming and going as one pleases;
no clothes to wear,
no worries to share,
and the surprise when one just sneezes;
.
pottering in the garden,
pottering in the garden,
lounging on the lawn,
tiny Tiger, preys the land
from dusk to early dawn.
“So, you have to worm your cat?
well, the best of luck with that!”
Cat would have liked to be thinking outside of the box for a change; thinking inside the box was not all that it had promised to be. But, the promise of a cardboard box to a cat is a wondrous thing – ask any cat.
However, when tired of the box, it should be an easy option for a cat to leave the box, and seek a warm spot in the house.
Not, as has happened to me, to be securely sealed into the box for the sake of a hypothetical experiment.
Who said that people should have pets? And, who said that people who have pets should look after them?
I know it’s not my place to complain (but, I will) but, I do not think that Mr. Schrödinger should have been allowed to keep pets.
I think therefore I am. I have needs and a desire to roam freely. My well-being is ‘not’ being helped by my incarceration in a cardboard box – and I am now well fed up with it.
It is said that ‘some poets’
find inspiration in a bottle;
but, in my case,
I do not need the Demon drink;
I think
outside of the box,
like the canny fox
who declined a job offer
from Erwin Schrödinger,
and was pleased at that –
unlike Frisky the renamed cat.
You left the dead body on the landing;
do you have no understanding
of how these criminal cases go?
The detective examined the body,
the coroner told him the cause:
‘A sharp bite to the back of the neck,
whilst held between two paws.’
And in your defence…?
Never set sail
with a cat with no tale;
he won’t keep you amused on the voyage…
