It's not that we're good friends at all, you see
kitty and I, well, we love our TV
Tom and Jerry were our fav's in days gone by
We'd learn how to scrap, but not 'till we die
But times have changed and Tom and Jerry are all gone
Itchy and scratchy, we watch now, with their fire and bombs
The Tv's too high up for my pink eyes are small
so kitty lets me on her head so i can watch it all
After the pilot, 'twas the first Episode
ya know the one, where scratchy gets fried to her toes
Well, kitty did'nt like that, no, not one bit!
she looked up at me and had a right fit!
"Don't be gettin' ideas" she says in a warning tone
about knives, bombs and fire, then she picks up the phone
She dials animal rescue, in a panic and fright,
I sit with a smile and say it's alright
She darts me a glance with a suspicious eye
and hangs up the phone, not sure if I lie
Its the same at the end of every show
But let me tell, there's somethin', i want you to know...
It's a secret... promise! tell no one! it's between, you and me
kitty's so scared by the sights; she does see
So scared that she wees 'till she's ready to cry
So i whisper to her ear, a sweet lullaby
She pricks up her ears to pick up the sound
and looks about to see no-one's around
and the song that I pick, it's ever so nice,
She purrs as I sing, three blind mice!

Hi Isabella,
This is such a sweet poem which is laced with fun, humour, surprise, and gentleness. Your use of rhyme is so effective in delivering the lovely surprise at the end with the mouse soothing Kitty! Within myself I noticed myself saying 'aah' when I came to the end. I love the way you cleverly use poetry to tell a story, and in this case a nice story. This is what you might call a "feel good" poem. Lovely piece of work!
Warm wishes,

This is too cute! I love how it was told from the mouse point of view! Great job here

This was really funny and cute and all the things I think the contest was looking for. I love the references you used in the poem. I used to watch these shows too, and reading about them in your poem was a walk down memory lane for me. I also liked how at the end, they're still friends and they've lived to play another day. Great poem, good use of rhyme. Fantastic!
