Poetry Thursday

 

My friend who is one spoiled cat gave me the picture below for the Thursday Poetry blog

 

 The Ellis kids were anxious New Year’s Eve

They could not wait for their cousins to leave

That Santa was coming was something they believe

And at being good the two of them did over achieve

2

To seal the deal they would leave special food for Santa under the tree

They were convinced they had set themselves up for hundrrds of gifts for free

There was only one problem as fat as they could see,

Their cat Wounded and their dog Knee.

3

The Ellis girls warned their pets to leave the food alone

Or Santa would give them nothing and Wounded was counting on a bone

And the Ellis boys said if the food was touched they would both spend Christmas wearing an Elizabethan cone.

So Wounded and Knee swore to stay away from the Santa treat zone

4

But the pets were overcome with temptation

And they risked castration

Followed by a slow cooking  cremation 

To eat every bit of the Ellis kids culinary creations

 5

Then they heard behind them Santa’s ho ho ho

And the pets cried no no no

And tried to go go go

So they weren’t caught and be neutered and cry like a soprano.

6

That is when Santa gave Wounded and Knee their greatest present they would ever get - quite a coup

An identical plates with food some of which Santa did chew

“The humans will never know,” Santa said then “Merry  Christmas to you.”

And a relieved Wounded and Knee curled up under the tree in relief and within 15 minutes they had eaten the food left by Santa tool
