Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

My Cute Cat Tiddles

Cute Tiddles how she loves to play
She chases toy mice ev’ry day
Her furry clockwork mouse
She pats it round the house
If alive there’d be hell to pay!

She guzzles cool milk from her dish
then gobbles up smelly white fish
Puss is growing so fast -
Kitten hood doesn’t last
I delight to watch her flourish

She doesn’t need any invite
To clamber on my lap each night
I can hear her loud purr
As I stroke her gray fur
My Tiddles is such a delight!

Lindsay Laurie August 13, 2018 at 8:19 PM G'day Jan … well written Jan on a subject loved by many. Unfortunately down here, feral cats are public enemy number one and if your pet cat isn't confined it can be quickly impounded - thank you Jan - Lindsay
