Fussy Cat

   Cat stirs
        Then purrs

   Yawns, sighs
        Makes cries

   M e o w
        Wants chow

   Seeks dish
        No fish

   Dried food
        Bad mood

   Eyes stare
        With glare

   Stands still
        To chill

   No win
        Gives in

   At last
        Eats fast

   Next scene
        Dish clean

Andrea Dietrich Date: 4/5/2015 12:19:00 AM great job. I fear I did it wrong. I have never used footles to tell stories, I just do them the original way, making a joke with the titles of them. HOpe I can make some time to try it out this way!! Login to Reply

Tammy Reams Date: 4/2/2015 9:02:00 AM This is so cute Sandra! I love the picture with the poem. I have to read this one to my sister she has a cat that fits this theme. Login to Reply Sandra Haight Date: 4/2/2015 8:41:00 PM Thank you, Tammy, I appreciate your nice comments. We had a cat, that we adored, but he would only eat cooked liver! And, we gave in--he lived to be 20! The memory of that kind of inspired me for this poem! Thanks again, Hugs, Sandra
