Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Lucy Wanted a Cat

Lucy wanted a cat, but her mother said, 'No!'
   With all of her heart, she yearned for one so

But her mother'd been scratched by a cat long ago
   Lucy's sorrow the greater, 'cos she didn't know

Heidi Sands October 7, 2019 at 10:10 PM Oh so sad. I can feel it :) Gershon Wolf October 8, 2019 at 10:15 AM You are truly right, Heidi. It's sad when kids can't get a pet...But sometimes it's just how life is... Thanks. Smiles, Gershon

Kim Rodrigues October 7, 2019 at 9:58 PM One’s childhood dragged into another’s. Such great work! Gershon Wolf October 8, 2019 at 10:14 AM Such a great comment. Sounds like you could make a poem, short or longer, from what you wrote. Much appreciated, Kim. Smiles, Gershon

Andrea Dietrich October 7, 2019 at 5:50 PM that happens sometimes. Just because of one little incident, the kids have to suffer and never get the pet they want. I enjoyed this, Gershon Gershon Wolf October 8, 2019 at 10:13 AM You are so right, Andrea. I myself solved the problem in my family by 'semi-adopting' the pet next door. Not all kids are as lucky as I was. Thank you for your support! Cheers, Gershon
