Imagine the Sight of That

In a nursery rhyme there is a fiddling cat
who played while a cow jumped over the moon
Try, if you can, to imagine the sight of that.
And how can a dish run away with a spoon?

I tried to put pajamas on Snowy, my kitty.
Her claws dug into my skin like they were roots.
My pj cat ran away. What a pity.
I should trade her in for Puss In Boots

I wish I still had my handwritten pages like you do, but I've no idea what happened to so many of my things from days gone by.

Jan Allison Date: 5/25/2017 6:26:00 AM Bravo Lin you got a trophy for your fun poem - mine was poop got an n/a lol:-) hugs Jan xx Login to Reply Cecelia Hopkins-Drewer Date: 5/26/2017 4:29:00 PM Jan, I actually recieved two Poo poems. One made round two... I shouldn't say any more, except the N/A doesn't always mean I didn't like it. It usually means I have lots of choice... Lin Lane Date: 5/25/2017 7:07:00 AM Thanks a lot, Jan. Your poopy ones are always great.
