Notes About The Poem

Feast of the Beast: Jan Allison and Lin Lane

The mean old housecat has bulgy eyes
when she looks at us in our fish bowl
Oh, how much we've come to despise
that big mouth of hers, the black hole

Poised to pounce with sharpened claws
She's taking jabs with hatred brimming
that ugly feline beast with drooling jaws
for us little fishes, innocently swimming
 
Our little bowl is cosy, room for only two
bad kitty on the outside, always looking in
If her paw ever grabs us, what are we to do 
we’d be much safer in a smelly sardine tin!

If she ever catches us, we’ve got big troubles
perhaps in her dreams she sees us as fat trout
In fear we produced a stream of gassy bubbles
If only our owner would give bad kitty a clout!
 
All the chaos made us soil ourselves with poop
so we let that mean old cat feast on a tasty treat
When her nasty tongue slurped intestinal goop
the beast screeched in horror! Revenge is sweet!

Our owner came home and cleaned out the bowl
Soon we returned to our safe sweet smelling home
Kitty got banned but can see us through the keyhole
Now we don’t suffer from irritable bowl syndrome!

Edward Mccall August 1, 2017 at 9:29 AM What a fun read this is it had me laughing all the way through. You and Jan did a great job thank you for the smiles and laughter today. Lin Lane August 1, 2017 at 10:11 AM I usually blame my silly writes on Jan, lol, but this time we must share in the blame. Thanks for reading and your thoughts.

Kim Rodrigues July 9, 2017 at 8:05 AM The title bowl (tidy bowl) becomes quite clear! LOL! Nice job you two! Lin Lane July 9, 2017 at 8:48 AM Thanks very much, Kim.

Dale Gregory Cozart July 7, 2017 at 4:01 PM The door was left open, kitty came back/ to try and spear us with her sharp claws/ but we had grow armor and fangs that attack/we dragged kitty in; she drowned, much guffaws. The End. Jan Allison July 7, 2017 at 5:05 PM lol Dale we started this last week and finally got it posted today:-) hugs jan xx Lin Lane July 7, 2017 at 4:23 PM lol Dale. I'm glad that kitty didn't have 9 lives. Jan and I would leap out of the bowl if we could get this kitty to drown in it.

Connie Marcum Wong July 7, 2017 at 3:55 PM Cats do love to watch the fish swim around and if no one stops them they will reach in with a paw and claw. Your collaboration is so humorous! G L for the contest. : ) Jan Allison July 7, 2017 at 5:02 PM It was such fun writing with Lin:-) hugs jan xx Lin Lane July 7, 2017 at 4:19 PM Hiya, Connie. Thanks, but it's not for a contest. Jan and I are just having fun. I had to outsmart my kitty when she realized I had a beta swimming within her reach. I shelved the fishbowl with another shelf about 3 inches over it. It drove her nuts but it was fun to watch her in huntress mode.

Chris Green July 7, 2017 at 3:23 PM There's something fishy here... Funny you two. Jan Allison July 7, 2017 at 5:02 PM ha ha ha and for once it wasn't me who wrote about poop lol:-) hugs jan xx Lin Lane July 7, 2017 at 4:17 PM There certainly is, Chris. Thanks.
