Notes About The Poem

Written for the contest -  One Couple of Days - Sponsored by Charles Messina

Not placed

One Couple of Days-Fiction

One couple of days I sat in Strangways
Whilst I was out in a downpour of rain
I found a wild cat, sat it on my lap
That amazing dam cat scratched me and spat.

I walked back and then re-entered my cell
To find that I could feel an awful smell
Curry had been pasted on every wall
My partner in crime's a super oddball.

Dear Beryl. Not a comfortable place to be. Even the cat is wild.

Dear Beryl, This poem is pure riot, a splash of rain, a wild cat with attitude, and curry chaos in a cell. A full-blown sitcom, and I couldn’t stop grinning. I love like it’s like you’re telling the story over a pint, with just the right amount of disbelief and mischief. That “amazing dam cat” line? Iconic. I don’t know whether to laugh or gag, probably both. I’ll never look at curry or cats the same way again. Autumn Blessings, Dear Beryl, Daniel
