Nancy Jones Poet Quintain (English)

Kitty Woes

My lair moved to human surroundings
I've tried to adjust but I'll be danged
While little people's misbehavior triggers groundings
Despite my efforts to fit in with wardrobe changed
When I act out I get hanged.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Written by Nancy Jones on August 7, 2011 between cleaning the litter box and going out for (more!) cat food.
Inspired by Francine Roberts and her contest “Hangin' in there”

Robert A. Dufresne August 8, 2011 at 7:13 AM This is a real cutie for the contest Nancy. You read that kitty's demeanor well.... they have a real ability to grab your heart. guess that's why we have 12 of them and they keep getting dropped off. This is a real cutie to add to the contest. Good luck . hope to see it right up there. Thanks for your comment
