Sandra Haight Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Oh Dear What Can the Matter Be

Oh Dear, What Can The Matter Be

Oh dear, what can the matter be!
I will never forcefully go...
in a sink, held down to be washed
and freshening me head to toe!

My furry, fur flatly foregoes 
being scoured with water and soap!
In my hell get ready to burn...
This feline sure knows how to cope!

From ferocious, furious cat
to a fitful devil, I'll turn.
bulged eyes, sharp claws open wide...
fierce feline revenge you will learn!

Carolyn Devonshire November 1, 2016 at 2:28 PM LOL This poem reminds me of the time I tried to give my cat a flea bath. One try was enough. And the photo recalls the time my new kitten fell into my swimming pool. Thanks for the humor! (Glad the prize came.) Sandra Haight November 3, 2016 at 7:01 PM Yes, Carolyn, they are not cooperative for sure! Thanks for the nice visit and nice comment. Hugs, Sandra

Chris Green November 1, 2016 at 12:03 PM That was funny and I can relate, I have attempted (unsuccessfully) to give my cat a bath in the past. And still have the scars to prove it. : ) Really nice Sandra Sandra Haight November 3, 2016 at 6:59 PM Yes, we have had cats too and know how this ends up! Thanks for the supportive comment! Sandra
