Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Light Verse

The Bandit

Yes I am
The Bandit
Cornered the market in   Cool
And yes
Stolen the best seat in the house 

Now would you be a pet and fetch me a saucer of milk?

Robert Lindley November 2, 2017 at 5:28 AM SO TRUE MY FRIEND. PEOPLE DO NO OWN CATS, CATS OWN PEOPLE. I have seen that and was always amazed at how the cat responded to my ex-wife's adoration. Excellent contest entry my friend.. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart November 2, 2017 at 8:31 AM My ex's cat beat up his ex (literall, viciously) they had to argue in fake happy voices till the cat wised to that. I was the first and only person other than him that she respected, and I WAS tested, knowingly so, I earned her respect lol

Freddie Robinson Jr. October 31, 2017 at 9:56 AM Very delightful and humorous poem, Maureen. It made me smile so broadly. Such a sassy write w/wit and tables turned bite. Mighty fine poem, my dear friend. Love and smiles always. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart October 31, 2017 at 12:38 PM I love your love dear poet! Love and hugs xo!

James Swartz October 31, 2017 at 12:10 AM Ah yes Maureen i have 2 cats and must constantly get out their way and their seats. I wish i was their owner but I'm merely their slave. I wouldn't give them up either. This captures the feline mentality perfectly. Great great poem. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart October 31, 2017 at 8:46 AM I can easily picture that ;) My first dog was very cat like, people who didn't like dogs liked her. I was owned by a wolf-dog, now I own a dog...so much easier without the attitude! Thank you James, love your kitties for me! xomo

Cheryl Hoffman October 26, 2017 at 7:33 PM I can just imagine the cat saying (meowing that is) to Julie~very creative and clever Maureen! Good luck in the contest!~Che :) Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart October 27, 2017 at 7:56 AM I know eh? Lol! I have dog and birds, no cats, but have certainly forged relationships with a few. Thank you so much Cheryl! A lovely day to you :) xomo

Lin Lane October 25, 2017 at 1:29 PM Most cats are aloof, but this Bandit is downright beastly to the hand who feeds him. LOL Mo...good one. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart October 25, 2017 at 1:34 PM I have no doubts :) thank you Lin! giggles and cheers! xomo
