A Cat Sat On a Chair

A Cat Sat on a Chair

     Two chairs, a pair
     A pair of chairs were there
     By the stair
     Two green chairs by the stair
     Green wrought iron chairs, a pair
     Very common, not rare
     By the stair
     Who’s chair’s, the pair?

     A cat sat on one chair
     A cat with long dark hair
     On the chair
     Another cat sat there
     On the other chair by the stair
     Two cats, very rare
     On two chairs
     A pair of cats, very rare
     By the stair.

     One cat left its chair,
     Gone where?
     Over there, with Claire.
     One cat on one chair,
     By the stair.

Better they sat on a chair than on a table. Reminds me of our cat. If guests come and there is a spare chair which is rare the cat will appear. We let our cat outside so hair is the only evidence it was there and guests can smell what is good and not too rare. If cats were not quite so fat they would rule the world. Glad your poetry postings are not rare. Take care David
