Tom and Jerry

Tom the Cat has some new amazing ideas up his sleeve.
He is constantly outsmarted by Jerry, a mouse who is his peeve.
He has built a mousetrap guaranteed to get this varmint once and for all.
It is camouflaged like leaves, and about sixteen feet tall.

Tom is confident that he will be eating roasted mouse tonight.
He loves the idea of grilling Jerry up; a tasty rodent delicacy delight.
Jerry has outsmarted him for the last time, he is sure of this.
He chases Jerry into the yard, but alas, something goes amiss.

Tom the Cat ends up in the mousetrap and all the mice are laughing.
He is caught in his own slick idea, while the mice lie down for napping.
What the heck! Why do the animators tease and torment him this way?
He is forlorn and angry again for the remainder of another bad day.

Those animators do torment! Then there was Simon, back in the 70’s…his animator had Simon draw on a blackboard and the drawings came to life.

My father-in-law watched and laughed at Tom & Jerry cartoons until the day he died, despite having seen every one of them THOUSANDS of times! People remain a mystery to me! Aloha!

My dad thought cartoons were the ULTIMATE TV until HeeHaw came out. He loved HEE HAW too!

Reminds me, too, of The Road Runner, which I dearly love! Well described in poem form.
