An Absurd Tale-For Contest

I knocked on my neighbor's door over and over again She was screaming at her orange cat whose name is Fen. Fen had caught a mouse, something she should've appreciated, but the kink in this tale is that Fen got sick and regurgitated. Everything was out of order, so I engineered an admirable plan. I scooped the mouse off her costly rug and flushed it down the can. My irritable neighbor said it was an excellent solution to the confusion. I kindly thanked her in a genial way and apologized for the intrusion. That night I saw Fen wandering about. He emits weird noises after dark. My Golden Retriever, Iris, added to the symphony with her generous bark. By now you surely must be thinking that my story is silly and absurd. You're right! There's not one iota of truth in it. I made up every word. 7/12/2016 Make a Poem Contest Writing Time: 35 minutes
