Terry Flood Poet Monorhyme

Pride of Place

On the arm of my armchair
Grandma’s cat is lying there
It often gives the mice a scare
Gran herself now lies elsewhere

So all you cats should be aware 
A cats life isn’t always fair
She had it stuffed without a care
Because I had no teddy bear

Paula Goldsmith February 16, 2022 at 7:53 AM A stuffed cat and not a bear??? Oh my...... A cute/fun write. Have a great/blessed day writing away............... Terry Flood February 17, 2022 at 2:18 PM Thank you, Paula. Glad you enjoyed. Terry

Lindsay Laurie February 5, 2022 at 6:45 PM G'day Terry ... poor old grandma; now she's stuffed but at least you've got her cat for a memory - thanks again Terry - Lindsay Terry Flood February 6, 2022 at 11:56 AM It’s hilarious, Lindsay. I don’t like stuff going to waste so the cat’s now got grandma’s false teeth in! (and if you believe that…). Terry

Jennifer Proxenos February 5, 2022 at 3:02 AM A rather crude comment below! I love your comment to Tom. I must say an unusual stuffed toy, but her ice cream adventures daring, so the cat followed suit - did she really stuff the cat? Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Terry Flood February 5, 2022 at 2:51 PM Thanks, Jennifer. Don’t worry, it’s entirely fictional. I’ve had a number of cats, don’t think I ever had a teddy… but I definitely never substituted one for the other. Terry

Rico Leffanta February 2, 2022 at 10:30 AM What a nice grandma you had to ensure you had pussy for a lifetime! Aloha! Terry Flood February 2, 2022 at 4:53 PM As a mono rhyme, both threadbare and derrière do fit… but that’s just sick! You’re a very bad influence, Rico. ;-) Terry

Tom Cunningham February 2, 2022 at 3:15 AM Must have used up all nine lives, would have been a shame to waste it lol. Tom Terry Flood February 2, 2022 at 4:54 PM I wouldn’t mind, but it will not use the litter tray. Terry

Deb M February 2, 2022 at 2:27 AM Very funny Terry but not true I hope ?!?! Debx Terry Flood February 2, 2022 at 4:56 PM Now that would be telling, Deb. Glad you enjoyed. Terry

Eve Roper February 1, 2022 at 3:07 PM hahaha, well I guess a stuff kitty is just as good as a teddy bear Terry Flood February 1, 2022 at 5:17 PM Actually, I genuinely have no idea if I ever had a teddy bear, Eve. I definitely HAD a cat though. Terry

L Milton Hankins February 1, 2022 at 1:01 PM Oh wow! Your grandma was something else, Terry. I'm not surprised, having read of her adventures. Terry Flood February 1, 2022 at 2:51 PM I really do need to get grandmas and cats out of my brain box… don’t wanna get typecast. ;-) Terry
