Ornery Cat

Simba's an ornery cat says the vet

  During visits both get greatly upset

      Simba grumbles and hisses

         Not at me or the missus

            But at the vet who ain't tamed him as yet

I am supposing that simba by the tone of this write is an amber coloured honey...of approx 8ft long, and the vet is the desperately gratefull possesor of a badly scarred wooden stool..? or this failing to be the case..leg:) anyway enjoyed the fun write here...

oh how cute this Limerick is extolling the hisses of Simba.. our Gabriel is like this too.. and he won't let the vet touch him readily but after some belly rubbing and cat treats... Gabe is putty in her hands..oh they then become best friends.. so nice and refreshing to read with a smile .. and my pepsi.. my java..Bob.. how about them Broncos? oh.. at least my GMEN beat up on those birds..yeah.

Ha-ha-ha! I have two cats and they hate a trip to the vets. But they soon come round again, after a good sulk! A cute Limerick, Bob.
