Rum n Raisin 19 - The Big Cheese
“What is it?” said Raisin. Rum said, “I don’t know,
Let’s find us a hill and watch that thing go.”
Walnut said, “Hold up; I’ve seen one of these,
It looks like a wheel, but it is, in fact, cheese.”
“It’s normally cut into portions to sell
Whoever mislaid it will be mad as hell.”
Rum said, “Are you saying this

Rum n Raisin 18 - One Rainy Day
“I’m so very bored,” Raisin said with a frown
“Me too,” said Rum, “but with rain pouring down,
It’s not like we get to go out for some fun.”
Raisin said, “Will this rain ever be done?”
Sat on the window sill, tail swinging slow
Rum said, “Dear sister, I really don’t know.”
Raisin leapt up to sit next to her

Rum n Raisin 17 - Bird Talk
Rum got to his feet and said, “Let’s go play in the street.”
Raisin said, “I’m up for that; some fresh air would be neat.”
They were soon outside and heard a sound… FLAP FLAP… THUD… TWEET
What a shock it was to find a young bird at their feet
A scruffy ball of feathers that could clearly not

Whiskey and Rum
Whiskey and Rum
after the nursery rhyme Coffee and Tea
My twin sister and I were drunk,
All our money on booze was sunk.
She loved whiskey and I loved rum,
We robbed the store and had more fun!

Rum
The Cuba Libre, also called rum and coke
is favored by many kinds of folk.
To its pleasures I succumb
and ne’er refrain from!
Sip, savor
rum.
What flavor!
I sing and I hum!
The taste is just so awesome!
I really love this drink, it’s no joke.
Its praises I sing to all you gentlefolk!

Rum n Raisin 16 - Rhyme Time
Raisin said, “Let’s write a poem,
Let’s try to make everything rhyme
A Limerick; maybe a sonnet
Let’s write it in double quick time?”
Rum said, “Let me get us started,
I’ll make it an everyday tale
And if we write something artistic
An agent might put it on sale.
“We will have to keep it in memory
For kittens cannot hold a pen
And

Rum n Raisin 15 - World Wide Web
If you’re a human, a word of advice
Don’t leave computers with cats, rats or mice
If these share your home but you need to be gone
For heavens sake make sure that you’re not logged on.
Some creatures are drawn to the colours on screen
Attracted by mixtures of red, blue and green
Much can go wrong if your mouse

Rum n Raisin 14 Pt 1 - The Flight Before Christmas Pt 1
There’s an old village green where a marquee was seen
I don’t do ‘Bah humbug’, don’t want to be mean
A little fake snow ain’t a Christmassy scene
But the reindeer and Santa Claus might well have been
But two little kittens and one manic pup
Made those arrangements all go belly up
Nothing was planned, you should understand
It’s simply that

Rum n Raisin 14 Pt 2 - The Flight Before Christmas Pt 2
Soon, the sun was lying low, a bright full moon was now on show
Santa switched on Walnut’s glow… “Ho Ho Ho and away we go.”
Walnut played along and led the team of reindeer and their sled
A dog that flies has not been bred… YIKES… it seems he’d been misled
With nowt but air beneath his feet,

Rum N Raisin 13 - Return Of The Robber
He opened the window in much practiced silence
If somebody heard there would likely be violence
He’d been here before and endured quite a spat
For when he broke in he encountered a cat
The cat ran him ragged but he never knew
That things would get worse because ‘one cat’… was two
They’d caught him off guard for he’d come

Rum n Raisin 12 - And Walnut Makes Three
Raisin said, “Rum, I’m beginning to see
that there will be times when we cannot agree.
Disputes shouldn’t leave us at a complete loss
So I think it’s proper that I should be boss.”
Rum gave a stare that was more of a glare
And said, “Hey up, Sister, you hold it right there.
Hark at you sitting there, giving it

Rum n Raisin 11 - One Hundred Million Years BC
Sneaking into the museum to avoid the sudden rain
Raisin said, “I don’t want to get soaked right through again,
It was bad enough when that truck through that puddle dashed
And you and me - but mainly me - got well and truly splashed.”
Rum said, “Well, we’re indoors now but just look over there
That old guy must

A Rum n Raisin Special - Seeking Milton
Their human ma and pa were spark out in reclining chairs
But Rum and Raisin watched the TV with enraptured stares
The western had just ended with the credits rolling past
And Raisin said, “That gunslinger was super duper fast.
“I really liked the way he walked with that unhurried gait,
The dust; the sunsets; all those guns and bandits
