Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

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...

Pat Adams May 12, 2018 at 10:03 AM This is amazing! Love the disclaimer as well! So funny! Well done and a FAV for me! Jan Allison May 12, 2018 at 11:01 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 May 12, 2018 at 2:12 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 Jan Allison May 12, 2018 at 6:58 AM Thanks Kai:-) hugs Jan xx

Daniel Turner May 11, 2018 at 7:42 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. Jan Allison May 12, 2018 at 6:58 AM ha ha ha thanks DT:-) hugs jan xx

Nette Onclaud May 11, 2018 at 3:45 PM witty poem which made me grin, jan!... huggs Jan Allison May 11, 2018 at 3:46 PM Thanks Nette:-) hugs Jan xx

Tom Cunningham May 11, 2018 at 3:35 PM Wow, what a story, you done this brilliantly Jan. Good luck. Tom. Jan Allison May 11, 2018 at 3:37 PM Thanks Tom, i was wary about labeling it as humour but am delighted people can see the funny side at the end of the poem:-) hugs jan xx

Tim Smith May 11, 2018 at 2:30 PM Ahha Jan Allison May 11, 2018 at 2:31 PM lol:-) hugs jan xx

Mike Gentile May 11, 2018 at 2:18 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 Jan Allison May 11, 2018 at 2:21 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
