The Cat Ate the Rat

I wanted a quiet evening, away from Proto To order a pizza with loads of ricotta, And write a poem, with not one interruption, Savoring a glass of wine, without disruption. Sounds perfect to me said a voice, let us begin. I looked around no one was there except Lynn My golden Labrador, the voice spoke once more, It’s so pretty outside, from here comes inspiration, Poems bring serenity, But at times written in desperation. The voice came from my poem I had just started, I was delighted, felt elated could this be magic. I believe that you talk, I’m no sceptic You’re the words creating my poem and I a poet. I will stay by your side, and together, We will travel where ever, forever. With a fame so destined, Bitcoin will have nothing on us We will kick up a such a lot of dust, And create a great fuss. Now don’t forget this is my poem, I explained, you only Add if I ask. Once upon a poem and rhyme, Lived an old, old man called time, No, no, no, said the words, The cat, Sat on the mat And ate the rat That is not poetry I shouted, you arrived in my space Perhaps you should explain why you’re here, And state your case! Then I heard another voice, somewhat shrill I’m so glad it said, chase the words away I recognized the second voice straight away, For I’d heard it every day, It was my Muse, she sounded sad and was crying You don’t love me anymore, my heart is dying, So I assured my muse Patsic That altogether, we’d create worldwide magic! Oh good said the words, it was getting too much And spilt a tear on the poetry page. Now can you listen, please, I’m not so young in age, I can’t get so upset, Glad we have all met. Then continued, The furry cat, Sat on the Persian mat, And ate a fat rat. Still unacceptable, I said to the words, Let me finish mine. No, no, exclaimed the words, I want to try again, The eclipse on the earth, orbiting into the moons shadow, Glimpses the bright sun, and from a slither so narrow, Stop, I said, that was good, Perhaps I’ll let you finish tomorrow. So you thought it was good, let’s do the dance of joy, And as we danced, the words on my page Scattered everywhere. I looked at my new friend, It will be an eventful, ecstatic journey for us, This partnership of three, will I know, Entertain, Time and time again!
