GOTCHA!
GOTCHA !
Tingly skies full of surprise oh how I love when with surmise,
the little rascal aims his dart as if it were, poetic art!
My heart was once a lonely keep, a silent place while I did sleep.
But then you came, my tabby boy, a cream-colored, purring joy.
I trace the stripes across your fur, my solace

Out on a Lim

"Remembering you Rico, I know you could have done much better" Quote by the Poet
Tabby waits til a ladder arrives.
He already used eight of his lives.
Was just on a silly whim,
He had climbed out on a limb.
But very close to him, big bee hives.

My Tabby Cat
My tabby cat with spectacles on nose,
Sits on a chair in imperial pose.
She holds an open book in one hand,
And a mug of coffee of a fresh brand.
Though she controls only the mouse,
She acts as though the empress of the house.
She sits content in the glare of the sun,
And reads of adventures of great fun.
With

tabby in winter
Tabby in winter, with a tuft of snow on your head
You got slammed when they came down on that sled
If you get buried, it may be quite a little while
Before we can save you, St Bernard said with a smile
Then he noticed that there were Bernards on her scarf
How bad could she be? He told

Tabby, Or Not To Be?
Along came a fine feline named Morris,
Lured by lilt of lascivious chorus;
He crouched inside the cage,
Appetite to assuage -
Patiently he purports to ignore us.

Captain Tabby Longtail
Captain Tabby Longtail stands
Like Ahab at the helm,
His Jolly Roger flying high
Above his salty realm.
He’ll keelhaul your scurvy carcass
If you give him any bull,
And he’ll make you walk the plank, mate,
If his food dish isn’t full.

Tabby and Sunflowers
tabby, tabby, tabby, leave those sunflowers alone.
They are dangerous to consume, so get back on the phone.
Cat stopped playing and stared at the loud speaking child.
His ringtone was loud, jazzy, bluesy, not in the least mild.
I don’t want to be on the phone, he said. I want to push this vase.
He loved the look of

For Tabby,For Elmer
Everybody knows the reason for your sorrows for they have the clue
Your torn pieces of heart shall be mended;may God grant you the glue
Very sad! Amidst you cut is a tree
But I pray that His grace and strength you see
Together in sorrows we are in
Just us in happiness we have been
Soon the brown grasses shall

Tabby Hunts For His Best Friend Malley
Tabby Cat from London Town walked in the alley
With a strut and a hop, looking for his pal, Malley.
Malley had been shipped off to a house for Christmas Day.
If you play your cards right, the man said, we might let you stay.
Tabby Cat did not know where his friend Malley was.
He heard loud sirens and

Tabby Green
Tabby Green is the most flexible, gymnastic- thinking cat.
We see his antics, and we laugh out loud good and fat.
A contortionist in the most elaborate, upside down ways.
Holding on tightly to our furniture filled with snags and frays.
Yesterday he hung upside down off of Gram’s potted ivy all day.
She was furious until he whisked
