THE PERSIAN WITH AN AVERSION

THE PERSIAN WITH AN AVERSION

 

A story is often told

About a cat so bold…

Ridding the house

Of every mouse

And eating them out in the cold.

–

There was a particular persian

Who had a special aversion…

To anything

With squeak or wing,

Found by her, her turf on.

–

The carnage became so great,

The cat frequently ate…

She ran aground

Whilst inbound,

And sticks in the cat door of late!

FOOD

FOOD LIGHTENS MY DAY (!)

 

With a faceful of peanut butter,

All I can do is mutter….

Send pages of “mumfff,”

Not a triumph

On loudspeaker, who’d hear me utter?

–

Santa has a “bowlful of jelly”

For a round and ample belly…

But for we fat folks

The butt of jokes,

It’s only fun for characters on the telly.*

–

For supper, chicken BBQ,

I eat my leftovers too…

Food pantry ware

Keeps us from despair,

While politicians have their own queue.
