Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

This is actually a true story. lol...

Meow Mix

A friend of mine came here from the Ukraine
His taste in food was admittedly plain
   He dined on little cans
   Used a fork or his hands
From Meow Mix he just couldn't refrain

Lindsay Laurie July 8, 2021 at 6:17 PM Hello Gershon … most of us just don’t know what we’re missing out on. Meow Mix might be better for us than meat pies. It might just be the label that concerns us - thanks Gershon - Lindsay

Beryl Edmonds July 8, 2021 at 1:45 PM Did no one ever paws to explain - To the gent who came from the Ukraine - Meow Mix is for cats - Or was it he heard that - It goes down purr-fectly in the main…… Belle

Terry Flood July 8, 2021 at 1:01 PM I ate meow mix regularly until someone told me what it was. Nowadays I’m on Waggie Pooch complete diet. Yum! Fun poem, Gershon.

Pashang Salehi July 7, 2021 at 6:08 PM Cute... very cute... Gershon Wolf July 7, 2021 at 6:18 PM Thanks for 'paws-ing' at my site, Pashang!

Joseph P. DiMino July 7, 2021 at 4:29 PM Not an uncommon acquired taste for people who have known great hunger. Well said, Gershon. Rico Leffanta July 8, 2021 at 11:45 AM Odds are there was more lean meat in the Mix than in a supermarket's meat section ...... Gershon Wolf July 7, 2021 at 5:56 PM That's right. Probably better than hard potatoes (raw) every day. Peace, gw

L Milton Hankins July 7, 2021 at 4:04 PM Oh my! Did you point out to him that he was eating cat food??? I guess if a person is hungry enough and nothing else is available....nope, not even then for me. This made me sad, gw. Gershon Wolf July 7, 2021 at 5:56 PM Someone else pointed this out to him... And, Milt, you'd be surprised how good it tastes when you're hungry. ~ gw

Kim Merryman July 7, 2021 at 4:00 PM Did he know it was cat food? Great limerick, Gershon! Blessings, Kim M Gershon Wolf July 7, 2021 at 5:55 PM The guy had no idea it was cat food. He saw that it was sold in the supermarket and that it was cheap. Perfect combo for a guy with no money from Ukraine in the 1990's!

Ilene Bauer July 7, 2021 at 2:23 PM yuck! well told, gershon! Gershon Wolf July 7, 2021 at 5:54 PM If this guy's friends hadn't said anything to him, he might still be eating Meow Mix today! :) gw
