Leery Canary

My canary keeps a pet cat;
that used to be sat on a mat,
but now it is caged
and slightly enraged;
to the bird, it’s just tit for tat!

Congrats on your win, Terry. I actually anticipated a whole load of nigh on identical limericks.The variety on this winners list just goes to show how much I know…. Not much, it seems ;-)
