Hmm, since the bird was deemed as dinner, this crazy cat does belong in a cage-- until next winter. Your thoughts bring a smile, Robert. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. Oh, and Happy Birthday ! My best to you. :) Brandy

He is staying put until he turns vegan. Your words give me pause (paws). Thank you, Brandy for the Birthday wishes and the accolades. It's been a pleasure! Robert

Many congratulations dear Robert with POTD. Loved this limerick and it’s so good! Very witty and clever. I’m all for him becoming a vegan :) Leave little birdy alone! This is certainly a fun contest for all those participating and all those reading and enjoying the creativity. Dear Wen is a gem. Very happy birthday to you too. Celebrations all round today. Hope you’re having a great day. Blessings :)

Robert Gorelick

I was afraid the limerick would be a cat-tastrophy. Thank you, Sam! Robert

I'd like to thank Poetry Soup for the lovely gift, and especially Wendy Horder. If it weren't for her, I would not be here standing on this august pedestal on this day receiving potd! Thank you, Wen and everyone for your support. Robert

Happy Birthday Robert! What a wonderful birthday gift to be chosen for poem of the day. Limericks come and go but this one will stay in my mind. Congratulations on your POTD Robert Gorelick! Q. What is Kenny G's last name? A. you guessed it, Gorelick! Lol.

Robert Gorelick
Date: 3/26/2024 9:09:00 AM

Thank you, Anaya. Kenny G was a guest on Larry King's show and was asked by the host what the G stands for, when he responded Gorelick, Larry King commented; good thing you decided to go by G! lol. Best Birthday gift ever. All my best to you, Robert

Thank you, Linda, another chapter of Tweety and Sylvester who won't be released until he promises to become a vegan! But can we really trust him? My best to you, Robert

Innuendo aside, taken at face value this is a humorous spin on the photo. Anaya did a good one too. Enjoy your day

Robert Gorelick
Date: 3/26/2024 11:00:00 AM

So did Wendy, in fact she encouraged me to join in the contest, thus if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have woken up to such a pleasant surprise!

Thank you, Tommy! :)

Robert Gorelick
Date: 3/26/2024 8:56:00 AM

I believe it was more humorous for the canary rather than the cat. You're so right, Anaya's is just as worthy. Thank you, Tom, I appreciate your review! Robert

Hello Robert, what a masterful blend of wit and poignancy, evoking a range of emotions in just a few lines. The juxtaposition of love and loss, conveyed through clever wordplay, is truly captivating. Congratulations on receiving Poem of the Day! Your talent shines brightly. - Blessings, Daniel

Robert Gorelick
Date: 3/26/2024 8:45:00 AM

Daniel, I'm pleased you found my encaged cat captivating, hope he isn't traumatized by the experience, he has no history of claustrophobia, but this may ignite some latent fears, what's your advice. Thank you so much for your review and wonderful compliment! Robert
