Notes About The Poem

2/21/2026 for Palimdrome Poetry Contest sponsored by Joseph May

Was it a Car or a Cat I Saw?

"Was it a car or a cat I saw?"
       "Hush, sweet pea.  Drain those meds through your straw." 
 "Nurse, I spy gypsies run - 
   hallucinating's fun."
      "Watch this fun nurse stroke you with her paw!"

I enjoyed reading your fun "Was it a Car or a Cat I Saw?" write. Thanks for the laugh. I needed it... "Good Luck" I did, "Hannah Meets Up With Bees and Blue Cheese, While Estelle Meets Up With John." Guess this is what he wanted. Have a fun day/week writing away............
