cat poem

 


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.
