Rum n Raisin 16 - Rhyme Time

Raisin said, “Let’s write a poem, Let’s try to make everything rhyme A Limerick; maybe a sonnet Let’s write it in double quick time?” Rum said, “Let me get us started, I’ll make it an everyday tale And if we write something artistic An agent might put it on sale. “We will have to keep it in memory For kittens cannot hold a pen And despite recent hype, we can’t even type So let’s limit stanzas to ten.” Those kittens sat ‘writing’ together All day and well into the night And when they were done Rum asked whether They should edit or even rewrite Raisin said, “No, I don’t think so, Let’s run through again and decide.” Her recital was ‘read’ and, nodding, Rum said “That should impress poets worldwide.” So Raisin had thoughts that were forming A plan that was worthy of note “Let’s say it aloud in the morning, So ‘Mummy’ can hear what we wrote.” At seven a.m. the alarm clock Awoke mum and dad from their rest They silenced the clock and got quite a shock As Rum gave the poem his best Well, mum and dad listened intently As their kittens recited away “I think,” said their dad, “Those kittens are mad!” For this was their poem that day…. Meow, meow, prrrr, mew, meow Prrr, mew, meow, prrr, mew……….
