L Milton Hankins Poet Pantoum

Garfield's Dream

Garfield knows the joys of relaxation
Happily, self-absorbed, his napping seems,
There can be no better explanation
For the bubble picture showing his dreams.

Happily, self-absorbed, his napping seems
We love Garfield for his senses keener
For the bubble picture showing his dreams
Explains his fun comedic demeanor.

We love Garfield for his senses keener
There can be no better explanation
Explains his fun comedic demeanor
Garfield knows the joys of relaxation.

Jan Allison July 18, 2021 at 10:00 AM What a fun pantoum Milton, it is quite a challenging form, good luck in the contest:-) hugs Jan xx L Milton Hankins July 18, 2021 at 10:42 AM Yes, it is, Jan. This one was particularly challenging because Eve wants three stanzas and the typical pantoum is four or five stanzas. You should enter! Thanks for your comment.

Gershon Wolf July 12, 2021 at 5:33 PM Hmm. I always thought that 'Garfield' was a goose. ~ Never was a Zookeeper L Milton Hankins July 12, 2021 at 6:52 PM Nah, this Garfield is a cartoon character by the renowned Charles Schultz. Oh, Garfield was also one of the U. S. Presidents who was assassinated. I'm certain neither has anything to do with the other!

David Mchattie July 12, 2021 at 4:55 PM Cats are all about relaxation. My cat sleeps a lot. I'm amazed how well the Garfield comic has lasted all these years. A comedian once told a story of taking his cat to the vet. The vet told him the cat was not well and should take it easy for a few days. He was stunned. 'Take it easy! The cat sleeps twelve hours, gets up, licks its butt and sleeps another twelve hours. What am I supposed to do? Lick his butt for him? Have a great day my friend. Congrats on POTD. L Milton Hankins July 12, 2021 at 5:18 PM Thanks, David. I really enjoyed this cat story. It is so true.
