the cat and the tree

for Holiday Humour Limerick Poetry Contest-Sponsored by: Tania Kitchin
----------------------------------------------------------

the Christmas tree tinselled and trimmed
coloured lights hanging from its limbs
now the cat has lots to play
with the lights as bright as day
poor Mr puss, now all scorched and singed
