Irene Queen of Cats

IRENE ^~^ zzzzzzz...

Now my friend has a pussy called Irene
She is regal
She writes poetry
She is known as the Queen
Each day she eats salmon from a golden tureen
But one day last spring
A fat rat wandered in
Falling asleep on her golden tureen
And to her surprise whilst eating rat thighs
Irene found them deliciously lean 
low fat ~ if you know what I mean...
No more salmon or caviar she's addicted to rat
But not Ratatouille for that is too chewy 
Irene now eats a dish known as Rat-a-tat-tat
slowly cooked by my friend in a purple chef's hat...

Many thanks Tom, although I have never owned a cat myself, I was inspired to write this after reading our mutual friend's poem Feline Frolics! With kindest thoughts Ann
