Pat was a rat and I’m certain of that
While Pete was a Parrot with pride
And Henry the Horse was a champion of course
And was always right there at their side
Poor Lenny the Lion was forever trying
To make it with Millie the mule
But Ollie the owl just couldn’t see how
And thought that the cat was a fool
Pat said to Pete who passed it to Henry
‘Old Lenny is losing the plot’
But Henry just sighed and sorrowfully said
‘I think that is more than he’s got’
Pete looked at Pat who stared up at Ollie
Who was watching old Lenny nearby
Gazing at Millie who was acting quite silly
And talking to Freddie the fly
Henry looked round with a kind of a frown
And shook his sad head to and thro
Said “Lenny my son it cannot be done
Poor Millie will suffer you know”
Lenny just growled and pattered away
He was mad at the words that he heard
Old Henry had said that ran through his head
Lenny thought rather absurd
Lenny found Millie and asked her to dance
And Millie said she would be pleased
So they danced in the night with the moon all so bright
While Ollie looked down through the trees
Then Lenny said 'Millie I love you my dear
Lets spend our lives rolling in clover'
And there in the night he gave her a love bite
On the neck and the romance was over

I loved the picture. And the poem was adorable. It really made me grin a lot. I had my shoulder surgery two weeks ago and finally logged back on and discovered that I had left you guys and gals hanging for that I do apologize.
So I am now judging this contest and really enjoying myself.
You did wonderful writing this.

It is nice to create animal characters and play with them. I can see a future series coming along using the characters you have created here.
well done and good luck with the contest

Thanks, Pattiboo. I am actually at this time in the middle of writing a childrens book with animal characters but none of these. I have finished one book and am working on three more.
