Palindromes

Evil Olive was cruel and vile to her employee Anna
She forced her to stack cats which had died
Anna was distraught and wanted to leave
Damm It I'm Mad to work here poor Anna cried

Madam, I’m going to walk out of the door
Anna’s face grew redder as she shed a tear
She said I won’t step on no pets any more
Anyone would think the devil lived here!

At noon a lawman arrived in his racecar
He asked Olive, was it a cat I saw? 
Don’t nod ... you’ve been on our radar
As my gym is in the building next door!

You’ve been caught, wow, I’ve got the stats
I’ll refer this sad case on to my boss Bob
It’s a top spot to find the missing cats
I’m on the level Olive; you’re out of a job!

Fiction write - no cats were harmed in the creation of this poem...

Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 5/12/2018 11:01:00 AM Thanks Pat, I was worried about putting 'humour' as a cat-e-gory but after the initial comments said they found it funny I added it:-) hugs jan xx

Kai Michael Neumann Date: 5/12/2018 2:12:00 AM I enjoyed that poem. It is funny (sorry cats). My cat 'Nietzsche' would not agree with the job description. Your message is very pertinent, in general and for South Africa, where I live. My wife and I employ Angelina to help with the cleaning once a week, but she is more part of the family. Many wishes to you, Kai Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 5/12/2018 6:58:00 AM Thanks Kai:-) hugs Jan xx

Daniel Turner Date: 5/11/2018 7:42:00 PM Stacking dead cats, that's some job! I wonder if it pays as good as sniffing farts from used car seats. A very funny write, Jan. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 5/12/2018 6:58:00 AM ha ha ha thanks DT:-) hugs jan xx

Tim Smith Date: 5/11/2018 2:30:00 PM Ahha Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 5/11/2018 2:31:00 PM lol:-) hugs jan xx

Mike Gentile Date: 5/11/2018 2:18:00 PM OMG, I could not stop laughing, Jan This is brilliant, my favorite line. "I won't step on no pets" I bet you place really high with this one xxoo Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 5/11/2018 2:21:00 PM I was worried about putting it down as 'humour' as the humour could definitely be seen as dark! I'm delighted both you and Victor found it funny so I'll add humour to the cat-e-gory lol:-) hugs jan xx
