Florence Bondarenko Poet Limerick

To Teddie the Tabby

My tabby is Teddie, she's both blazing rude and nice
Stealing my blanket, leaving me cool as ice
But I can't bring myself to yell, to scream, or to shout
So, I'll place a kiss onto her pink snout
Cause in return for love and presence, anything will suffice

My tabby is Teddie, she runs quick from the light
Escaping the sun with every drop of her might
Yet her long coat of fur won't even deter
Waves of cold that pulse through her!
Then feel way too bad, even a bit sad, during the night
