Costly Tale- Make a Poem Contest
was a garden unloved not many flowers
memories run deep and were buried there
here children used to play in summer showers
a cat stalked looking absurd with an irritable stare
we caught this moggie stalking a tiny mouse
was hiding away in the iris bed
not caring one iota that a cat was about
he laid down to snooze resting his head
suddenly he heard the thunder of paws
jumped up with a start through a window ran
landed on the gas meter which was old beyond years
broke off the pipe, was a big bang
an engineer was called a man heard the blast
an evil smell emits the air
was a genial man with a happy smile
costly job this, to make a repair.
the mouse was stunned and lying there
gave his chest a rub a generous thought
i appreciate that the little mouse said
excellent said the repairman as a remedy he sought
remember all no matter large or small
look where you land when you take a fall
took me forever to write this
