For Charles Messina's The Beatles - Lay It To Me Poetry Contest/ June 4, 2025

_____________________________________________________________________

Inspired by Beatles' song: "Leave My Kitten Alone" (Recently edited. The last line got left off.) You petted her, then got bitten. Who said you could touch my kitten? She doesn’t like you, can’t you see? She’ll only roll her ball with me! Your cat nip won’t even tempt her. Back off. Take that stuff away, sir. Buster, "leave my kitten alone." Go and get a cat of your own.

This is adorable and a shock to me. Shock because I didn't think a Beatle's song existed that I wasn't familiar with. I've no memory of that song or title whatsoever. I will have to find it and listen in an attempt to hush the noisy clatter of confusion in my brain's music library. Strawberry fields forever ... CayCay

I am a big fan of The Beatles but not familiar with this one. Good poem though I am not a cat fancier. Good luck for contest

you are not a Beatles fan?? I was a kid when they were popular and I was more into herman's hermits and other bubblegum music, but today I really value what they did for the 60's scene.

Love the edgy, 'chip-on-the-shoulder' attitude in this one, Andrea. ~ Mr. Keep-Away

Never heard this song. Still cats don't tempt me. My daughter has two. At least they don't smell.

My favorite line is "Your cat nip won't even tempt her." Oh yeah, I should likely look up the song to hear it for the first time ever.

I never knew the song either, but I saw it on the list of their songs and loved the idea of doing a poem around that title. It was such fun.
