Not Guilty

I didn’t do it, I swear to you; I would not intentionally, that much is true. A bat flew in here, and showed me its rear, into a stew, I flew. I know that you want to talk, so at that, I will not balk. Your TP’s in tatters, I’m mad as a hatter, while that guilty bat, just walks! Oh, the window is closed, I see; why do I feel, I must flee? I’ve run out of excuses, it’s either the fault of my muses, or my alternate personality. Okay, so I am a bad cat; that is the end of that. I flew into a frenzy, tore up TP intensely, I confess, there was no bat.

What a wonderful, witty string of Limerick pieces you have cleverly penned! MLK, I enjoyed the read - just hilarious. While I haven't even tried writing this form before, you have perfected it! Hugs. Pandita

Thanks so much, Pandita; I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I am a cat owner and yes, more than one TP roll has decorated many rooms of my house.
