Max's Diet

There once was a kitty named Max the Cat
And he was terribly, terribly fat.
We put him on a diet
And he started a riot.
The neighbours dog food he stole, just like that.

So onto their porch he stormed in a huff.
He was no lightweight, this big ball of fluff.
Pushing dogs out of the way
Because he'd not come to play
And of his diet, he'd just had enough.

The neighbours dogs are mad at us now
Although we still haven't figured out how,
How Max stole the dish
Because it wasn't our wish
To have those Bouviers go without chow.

Very funny Francine and reminds me of when I was much younger with young children. They had a big dog who could never get full. We had some rather reclusive neighbors next door. They had a high fence around their place. I kept finding mysterous pans in my yard. One day my rather irate neighbor knocked on my door.She said it was bad enough when my dog stole her dog food and pan but when she put out a big kettle and he jumped over the fence with that. That was too much. Joyce

LOL I'm laughing thinking of Max stealing the dog food. Dogs used to eat my cats' food. Guess it can go both ways, eh? Funny poem, Francine. Love, Carolyn
