When the Cat's away...



Sarah Jane,
poor, poor thing,
was born with a
long, pink tail.

And did I mention
ears so round
and skin so soft, yet pale?

Well Sarah Jane,
poor, poor thing,
was mousy as could be!
With nose in a book,
she gave no such look,
of a spirit wild or free.

Now Her Master was a hairy thing!
More beast than man I’m sure!

His eyes were green and honey,
his hair all golden sunny,
fancied himself quite funny,
with that Cheshire gleaming grin.

But such day came
for master sir,
to leave poor Sarah Jane.
He’d gone insane, and quite the pain,
to all the neighborhood.

They’d throw their shoes,
say don’ts and do’s,
as he wailed atop the fence!
(but his mind was far too dense)

So Sarah Jane had a newfound sense
of curiosity!

She threw out her mousy things
and set sail on open sea,
thus traveling the world
to join a nudist colony!

Author notes

Lollipops are the best! ... but no more throwing lollipops at me...I'm still hurting from the CB
Haha, this is complete rubbish I know but after our talk of a mouse girl and the nudist colony thing I thought it would be funny
Probably be better if it were actually written well but it's the thought that counts? Haha anyway, I like the idea of the contest so yeah, hope you get a kick out of this haha, cheers ^_^

    Well, this was different. Interesting anology of cats and mouse. The nudist colony was a different twist. I like the way it all flows together and the word pictures you present.

      Haha, yeah I'm still not sure how that happened
      I do love rhyme though, just not the best at it I suppose.

    This is wonderful, so playful and lighthearted. So they were both half human, half animal! I enjoyed it very much.

    Blimey!

    This is sooo funny - I'm glad I was in on that conversation or I would have no clue lol.

    Cute and well written for the time you're implying that it took to write.

    Have fun this weekend!

      I still say it's rubbish! Haha, I suppose it could be much worse but I thought it would just be funny as a bit of a joke. Glad everyone enjoyed it so far ^_^ haha, and thanks!

    Thank you for entering. and it isn't rubbish. thank you for entering. it is very nice and so far, no offense to anyone else, most fitting to the contest. you see you wrote about an animal person and their woes in a poetic fashion. I hope more entries like yours come in. It is a bit odd, but what should I expect? we are two different writers and you showed me different ideas like I wanted. it is funny with the cat man getting shoes thrown at him and sitting on a fence. *hands out lollipops* here! just relax. you knew what I was looking for and provided. *wonders if all the enteries will have to know what I am thinking to write* hope they don't. so good luck. Hope you get some other poems in the contest that are about animal people. there is possiblities. have fun
