W T F W T

A thing by the window of my bedroom 
ate from our pet's bowl by light of the moon.
So W T F was that?
It sure was not our cat..
I was chasing away a sneaky raccoon.

An exceptional Limerick written in language so concise and precise. It has that ring of wry observation. It was so good of you to share your opinion of Brazen etc while travelling. Have a safe journey Howard

Not an addition-like pet-like boon Crunchy noise at the window would make one swoon And WTF these are kittens? Such a face ne'er will smitten Curtain-out all elysiums' goons ~ Actually, I heard they make great pets, being fearless with an insatiable curiosity. Expect to be charmed past bliss while your house gets wrecked.

Oh I like this but watch those Raccoons they will chase your cat off. Once one clawed my cat's face because she tried to fight for her food bowl. I was so mad. That Raccoon had to go right now and I fed my cats inside now. God Bless and Merry Christmas. JB

No worries. It was actually the home and cat of my mother in law, but I used poetic license.

don't worry. This happened at my inlaws' place in Kentucky ages ago and I just used a poem calling it a cat of my own.

Nice poem. I have the least idea what WTfWT stand for. If something like a cuss phrase, just ignore my quest.

the first line for sure is not correct limerick meter, but to get "bedroom" in, it'a just impossible.
