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? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Funny Picture Prompt Contest Sponsor: Julie Leigh Rodeheaver Placed 2nd © 28th October 2017

This is so great!...glad I picked this one to read on my quick trip through the soup!...You know funny thing...I had a cat years ago who would sit on our old push button cable box and shift her back feet until they hit the buttons just right to change the channel! Have great day Paul :)

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
