Notes About The Poem

Image result for pictures of male orange cats  

 

Image result for pictures of great pyrenees dog breedGreat Pyrenees. Mostly used around here as a guard dog for herds of goats, sheep, cows, etc. They are supposed to fight off any predators. 

Big Orange Nursery Rhyme

Big Orange was a housecat gone wild He'd eat my cat's food then he smiled No more do I leave food out He no longer has clout He came back with wife and stepchild Big Dog Great Pyrenees from next door Said, "Cats one species I abhor". Now they're three on the housetop Where they are sure to eavesdrop They surely lack grace and candor They will hear everything I bark Share the information with lark Big Orange from his position Hired a famous musician Now they rock gossip out of the park!

I confess: I am SO glad that Big Orange was not about Donald Trump that I couldn't concentrate on the limericks! Happy Forever, thanks to you, Sara. ~ Mike Pence

Well, Gershon, I never thought about Big Orange as being DT, but now that I think about it, it could be in a metaphorical sense. LOL..Thanks for turning the tale into a political work. If only I had thought about giving Big Orange a Cell Phone. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

Valsa, Big Dog kills cats but has two cats at her house which she seems to love. Go figure. Thanks for the visit and piece of information. Sara

Coy, Big Orange has been around in a long time, shortly after my cat died. I don't know if he had misfortune or found there's no more food and decided it wasn't worth the trip. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

Heidi, LOL..I haven't seen Big Orange for months now. I guess he either got killed by a car or coyote or he found a permanent home. Thanks for the visit. Sara
