Nonsense
poem – cat poem
Cheshire
none the worser
There
was a cat from Cheshire
who loved salmon with Worchestershire
sauce
and
fought with his arbitrary owner
who
claimed to be the boss
The
cat was named FAT
and
the human fellow was known as Splatz
who
lost all his money at the stocks
when
it fell to nil
and
so, the fellow’s wife, known as Lil,
divorced
the pot-bellied SOB
and
left the scene with all the fleas
And
so Splatz climbed onto the building ledge
and
fought the battle full-fledge
finished
a bottle of gin
then
fought the wind
took
the dare and jumped down the air
Meanwhile
FAT finished the salmon
and
rolled contentedly on the ground
when
Splatz exhausted the altitude
and
hit the sidewalk headfirst
People
stood and gawk
all
agree that he was indeed the fellow named Splatz.
