Pouncing

Pouncing An azure sky was overhead, The goats n fowls had gone to bed Cos it was getting darkly, Me memory of it isna clear I didna even suck no beer, Just getting a bit sarky. I went to look, but she had gone, The sulky, silky bat, had flown, It hurt, not too much, so starkly I wouldna, didna, want her home, Me little bat returned alone, Talkin some malarkey. Pouncing on the pooch a bit, Castration, killed the smell a bit, He had no cause for barking. Don Johnson 17-july-11 (must be a full moon eh)

This is a fun one..Of course, I never would have thought that a bat was a woman but I have heard a woman called that in movies..Thanks for the interesting comments on my work..The cat sound was several years before the snake..I think that it was a Bob Cat and not a Cougar..The rattlesnake was in my garden one day..On a retainning wall where I plant herbs...When he raised up to strike, he was eye level with me..Sara

Hmmmm This one kinda left me out in left field abit. Near as I can figger, The bat your talking about is actually a cat that tok off and it was getting a little stormy out. She finally came in and pounced on the dog just for fun. Did I get it right? Cute little ditty though. God Bless, JB

Your fault Judy, you mentioned liking confusing verse:) The bat (crazy woman) returned and the guy fixed the dog ...out of frustration... cos he was smelly n barking, the dog...confused me too:)
