Poem Of The Day

Kept Cat

Kept Cat
You called me your dream bird, now it's too late We'd fly off in bliss, our purr-fect dream date I deemed you my winner you deemed me your dinner How does it feel to be my kept cat, mate?

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

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.

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.

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

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
Gorelick Avatar

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
