Pet-Sit Panics

Most households have in USA pets A hundred million cats and dogs Other pet types include Aquarium fish and bird Most content in home environments. I got discontent with a content cat We turn to friends or neighbors For help to short timer Or to pet-care giver All options, not optimal for each pet. I became that short timer option My friend wished to go to Ukraine I pet-sitted for his cat Gave me care-taking note Of her keeps, her daily medicine. Giving transdermal med into her ear And she bit the crap out of my ear Can’t call friend back or a vet Used third option instead Sent her to professional care taker. ============================= Contest: Pet-Sit Panics in Honor of Sharon Tideswell

Interesting series, Dr. Ram, I sure enjoyed how you finished this one. YEs, the third option certainly seems best!! As for kyrielle, you have to try that form. I just love repeating line poems and with kyrielle, all you have to do is put the repeating line always at the end of every stanza. LUv, Andrea

Got a good chuckle out of this one, Dr. Ram. I would have used the third option too if the cat bit my ear. LOL Enjoyed! Love, Carolyn
