Paul Callus Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Bandit the Cat

I love to sit on the settee
And surf the channels on tv
With no apparent skills
Don’t have to pay the bills
Yet I get pampered, you’ll agree!

I have my highs, I have my lows
My whereabouts I don’t disclose
A sucker for romance
Maybe I’ll take a chance
One day to Julie I’ll propose! 

If you look deep into my eyes
You’ll see I’m Batman in disguise
I rush to people’s aid
For justice my crusade
Do I deserve a Nobel Prize?

Maria Williams October 30, 2017 at 4:30 AM Indeed the Poet deserves a Nobel prize dear Paul - for exposing the duplicity of our feline friends - a syndrome that exists in all parts of the world - whether they have TV or not - :) - An excellent personification - Has he won Julie's heart? Bet he is so discreet by nature he won't say. A cute poem worthy of top honors in the contest - A Fave...Maria Paul Callus November 7, 2017 at 12:33 PM You are kind and generous, Maria, and your feedback is awesome:) Thank you!! Warm regards // paul
