Dad is a platypus
Mum is a ginger puss
I surely am no wuss
I am a cat-o-puss
Swimming skills I have got
Beat ‘em all…kid you not
Fast as a racing yacht
Off the blocks like a shot
Grandma was a cat fish
Her name was simply Trish
Ended up on a dish
This was her dying wish
To see me win this race
At a blistering pace
Opponents in disgrace
At swimming I am ACE!

This is a wondefully funny poem and the picture is fantastic. I love this and how you used that swift quick versing to keep it swinging along. This type of poem always keeps the reader rolling along because of the shortness of each line, so no time for stopping. I loved it!
