Title: A silly poem
Post by: LeighK on October 24, 2007, 12:20:09 PM
Hi folks,

Thought I was a little fed up at work this morning so quickly penned this silly little poem, excuse the puns  ;D

I'm a cat.

I'm a cat,
That's where I'm at,
I can't fly like a bat,
or squeek like a rat,
I'm a cat,
so that's where I'm at.

I'm a moggy,
I'm geting a bit poggy,
I hate getting soggy,
next door's doggy,
mornings that are foggy,
and missing my favourite proggy.

I'm a pud,
I'm not always good,
I know that I should,
and I would,
If I could,
but I'm not ALWAYS good,

I'm a feline,
Feeling fine,
Sleeping all the time,
Keeping my humans in line,
Surveying ALL that's MINE,
Knocking over that glass of wine

So I'm a cat,
I'm a moggy,
I'm not fat,
but I'm poggy,
I'm a pud,
When I'm good
and I'm feline
All the time.

Cheers

Leigh

Very good, in the style of some of  Roger McGough's I think. Well at least one that I have read of his anyway.

Hi,

I know it'll be hard to believe  ;D but it took me at least FIVE minutes to pen that  ;D ;D

Cheers

Kewl!!  Poetic sorts never cease to impress me no end...
I struggle and rack my brain for 5 HOURS (and often futilely) to come up with one good pair of rhyming lines... :-[

Well done Leigh!! ;D

Cheers
