Meeses In Pieces!

Ole Blackie the cat lapped his chin
his Ma had put milk out ag'in 
he'd brought her a mouse
and left it right out!
she saw it and screamed, then ran in!

Debbie Such a cute and funny write. Kitties love to bring "presents" to their masters. Made me chuckle and smile. Nice job Thanks for the great comment on my Christmas Fun poem

I had to check out one of your limericks to get some idea of what you are looking for in your contest. This is a decently humorous one.

Eek! This happened to me when I had my cats, Deb. They thought they were bringing me "presents," but the decapitated mice on the front porch were not appreciated. Very cute limerick! Soup mail. Love, Carolyn

Cute,,,Cats will do that especially a young one..They bring it to the door for its master..When the cat that I have was just about half-grown she would bring me all sorts of dead things...squirrels, field rats, birds,etc..I was delighted that you read my work "The Truck Graveyard"..I want to say that I am thinking on writing one for your contest..I know that I wrote on that was that form before but I can't find it..I have some information about that style I will just have to work on it..Sara

ha ha! Love it Deb, this one hits me close to home! I used to have a wonderful outside cat named Hunter (for good reason). Every day, without fail, he would contribute to 'feed' our family by leaving his latest kill at the front door. It wasn't pleasant to find a dead animal at my doorstep every day but, knowing what it means for a cat to do that just made me love him all the more! What a family man he was!

Smile!!! ~ "Yes," if one listens very closely, they can almost hear those her screams &, I feel sorry for that tiny little innocent creation almost like, a helpless baby within its precious crib; unknowing, that beast of a kitty, was on her prowl ~ Smile, "Love & Warmth to 'You Always' &, All You Love," John! ~ Smile, "Sweet Dreams!":) ~
