LOVE THINE ENEMY

The cat on his mat Caught sight of a rat, Sneakily stealing his food. Which was a disgrace; He ought to give chase. But he wasn’t in the mood. They started to chat, The cat and the rat And very soon became friends. So that’s how they stay To this very day. And that’s how the story ends.

I had to look up who wrote this after the judging of my contest. I want you to know the only reason you didn't make my list was because you used an incorrect meter. That said, I LOVE this. You actually used a really cute meter and used it consistently to create such a cute poem. So I am giving this one a fave. If It had been Alouette meter, you'd have had a topper!

Thank you Andrea. I must read instructions more carefully! I thought I had the number of syllables correct. Was it the stresses that were wrong?
