Seren Roberts Poet Verse

Penny - Beloved Pet Contest

She was pretty,
So adorable.
This little bit of fluff
Suddenly arrived on my doorstep.
Thin and scruffy,
So hungry,
Beautiful copper coloured,
I called her "Penny".

This traumatised cat
Used to run up the curtains
In fright.
Hide behind doors,
Pounce on my dog,
Who was petrified of it
he weighed 35 kg,
Made him a quivering mess.

In a few months Penny
Grew to be a lovely looking cat.
Always fighting,
Could hear Penny coming 
All the cats were on Penny alert.
Penny developed this big abscess
On the face "battle scar ",
Off to the vet.

Guess what Penny wasn't a she,
Penny was the randiest Tom in the area.
I had never looked at its working parts,
Penny stayed small and so pretty.
Kept the same name ,
Lived to a grand old Age..
