Poetry Thursday




Once again Angel Sammy and Teddy Pawrtation have provided us with photo for Poetry Thursday 


    

It was all Josie’s mother's fault

Of that, there was no doubt

But stressed out mom’s don’t admit they were wrong

So Josie and the pussy cats had to make the evidence gone


During breakfast, Josie’s mom said she would only be gone a minute. 

Suzie stopped eating and ran her spoon across her cereal bowl to see how far she could spin it

But she was a toddler and didn’t know about centrifugal force

And soon the cereal, the bowl, and the milk were far off course


It all crashed down and spread across the floor

And it began to spread to the kitchen door

Josie was about to let out a great cry

When she was stopped by her cat Loreli.


Loreli, the pack leader, meowed at the other cats

To get down and lick up all that went splat

Josie was so moved her friends were so quick to clean 

She shimmied down the chair like it was a trellis and the troublesome teen


Then they began to lick up the mess

And they made great progress

They were done by the time Josie’s mom entered the room

Saw her daughter on the floor with cats and that her baby had fallen she did assume.


She blamed the chair

And she did swear

That no one would know the truth

Her baby fell from her chair as her mom hit the vermouth 


But when Dad returned home he knew something amiss

His baby Josie wouldn't give him a kiss

Because after driving warm milk off the floor Josie and the pussycats made a rhyme never heard in a Shakespearean sonnet. 

Josie and the pussy cats did simultaneously projectile vomit.
