For Eve Roper's Nursery Rhymes Only Poetry Contest

Mr. Cat sits in his chair with all that he could need: a pot of tea and cup nearby and a little book to read. But oh! He needs his spectacles. Too small is his book’s print. While looking for his spectacles, he grabs himself a mint. Ah, now the cat is comfortable. But the tea’s no longer hot. “My oh my,” whines Mr. Cat. “I must reheat my pot!”

Andrea, this is too funny and cute. Have to love cats! How can we ever get settled when there are so many considerations to deal with? Sounds like a problem I might have as it's getting harder and harder to see print without glasses. We're really lucky if this is the worst we have to deal with (lol)! Smiling you get me to do.

Did you get system error commenting to this. Silent One thinks it is because of the cat image. Let me know.

Love it! My cat sits in whatever chair he likes -- has me to keep things, legible, pleasingly palatable -- whatever he deems nice, in over supply kept twice -- such a fool I am. I know. I am owned by two cats -- clawed referee of many hissy spats.

Mine don't even seem to care much for me I got doubly unblessed this time around. I had some awesome cats in the past
