Poetry Thursday

My friends the Two Spoiled Cats have provided the following photo as inspiration for Poetry Thursday

Frankie had a dream

Of an open refrigerator door and free ice cream

Of being able to eat fish caught in a stream

And bread produced by sunbeam

Frankie had a partner named Gabor

Who shared his dream of opening the door

Ways to get into the refrigerator they both did explore

Raven, the caged parakeet, mocked the, saying “nevermore”

 

One night the dad came down for a midnight snack

And left the door open a crack

Frankie walked by and was taken aback

By the smell of cheese, probably cracker jack

To signal Gabor Frankie let a purr emit

And when she saw the door Gabor said “Holy shit”

All their dreams had come through if just for a little bit

Thanks to their dad, a forgetful  upperclass twit

They stood to look on the shelves that were anything but bare

Unfortunately all their plunder was in tupperware

And how to open these plastic devils they were not aware

After all their years of dreaming it just wasn’t fair;

Frankie had then sharpest claws of the two

And the them he tried to open it doing a push me pull you

When this did not work he tried to chew

And when this failed across the room it did flew

It skidded on the floor and hit a wall

And their dreams were answered once and for all

The lid came up and inside the fish did fall

And the kitties grabbed the fish and dashed away dashed away all

Perhaps their exploits deserved more than a comment

A grand poem or epic sonnet

When their parents woke up and saw them they knew what they would call itThe night the kitties raided the fridge, ate bread pudding, and ended up covered in vomit.
