Janice Canerdy Poet Clerihew

Sylvester the Cat and Tweety Bird

Sylvester the Cat,
the lisping schemer, would get smashed flat
by Granny swinging her broom in a rage
when he tried to lunch on her bird in a cage.


Tweety Bird,
clever canary, spoke when danger occurred.
Inside his cage the wee, wary one sat
and said, “I tawt I taw a puddy tat!”

Marikate Kingston December 29, 2021 at 5:51 PM I can see why you won. My daughter used to have a bird, he was a blue parakeet. She called him Dew Drop. Your poem made me think of the time he escaped from his cage and was almost my pug's lunch. Your clever Tweety Bird was quite a smart fellow. TWEET..MEOW.. Cute poem!
