Christmas Pets

Three kittens looking so perky, Appealing eyes of slanted green, The cats cadge a serve of protein, As I eat my sandwich of turkey. Surrounding my chair so smirky, Their longing looks soon seen, I throw meat from the tureen, On an impulse quite quirky! Three kittens looking so perky, Appealing eyes of slanted green, The cats cadge a serve of protein, As I eat my sandwich of turkey. Satisfied purrs rise over jerky, Pleased with what they glean The kitties lick the plate clean; Then sleep noon till eve murky. Three kittens looking so perky, Appealing eyes of slanted green, The cats cadge a serve of protein, As I eat my sandwich of turkey. Written for Christmas Pets sponsored by Dear Heart 28/12/2018 (This was a real incident, after Christmas, eating left-overs)

I have 4 cats so I relate to this cute poem and I like the impact of the repeated stanza. Poetry hugs ... CayCayn

this was a wonderful capture of that moment. I know this kind of moment so well myself for having had many cats in my lifetime. Congrats on a well deserved win.

I liked the cadence of this, it had a fun rhythm almost like a song. I could picture it, and felt like I was the one throwing the meat. You have portrayed a sweet scene, and it is heart-felt.
