Teaching Pussy To Swim

I was teaching my cat to swim,
His pussy face looked so grim,
Dad said, "Make the lessons shorter,
you see cats just don't like water,
even so, I rate your chances slim."

I wanted to let you know. i had that function turned off (I do not know when someone has replied to a comment of mine) I just go to my comment box and answer the poets who have come to one of my poems. Anyway, I liked your elaboration to this poem that you gave me. Login to Reply

Too many cats learned to swim in a hessian bag with a brick, but your poem lifted my spirits, although I must agree with your Dad on your chances - Lindsay Login to Reply John Williams Date: 4/23/2015 10:28:00 PM Yes Lindsay, those puddy cats just won't take to water. Ah well, i guess i'll have to train my dog, at least he should be able to dog paddle. Thanks Lindsay......John
