When Fur Flies and Worlds Collide

Some years ago I fell on hard times.
So my friend took me in and my cat Kiwi too.
At times life speaks in rhythm and rhymes.
We had adventures and this story's true.

She had Simba who was a huge dog.
Sometimes the cat and dog would fight.
Simba usually slept like a log.
While Kiwi prowled all through the night.

One day I tried to protect my kitty.
So into the master bedroom I threw her.
Unknown to me this was such a pity.
For suddenly there was flying fur!

Seems Simba was in there taking a snooze.
Kiwi landed smack on his back.
Out they charged and began to cruise.
Galloping like a pony,nothing left intact.

Kitty dug in her claws;held on for dear life.
Doggy whimpered as he flew room to room.
Those claws were sharp as a razor knife.
This magic carpet ride bound for doom.

We laughed so hard we nearly spit.
To see kitty taking this rough ride.
We couldn't help but roll with it.
Suddenly Simba flipped on his backside.

Down flew Kiwi over his head.
Off she ran , somewhere to hide.
Simba glanced around with dread.
That was sure some crazy ride!

Reality tends to do that once in a while. Certainly helps to keep a sense of humor. Enjoyed the ride. Peace. :)

I saw my dog run crazy with a mad old hen on her back. This reminded me. Congratulations. Love, Joyce

I feel sorry for Simba and Kiwi, they were quite scared I can tell! But i do have to admit that this situation is quite funny too, except if they started breaking things! I really loved reading this awesome poem here this morning my friend! What a grandiose piece, Great work!!
