Poetry Thursday

  

Jonce again Angel Sammys and and Teddys Pawetatonc have challenged us to write a poem about the picture below

Tommy cat said he could fly

But Bob the dog thought he would fail

And didn’t want Tommy to die

So Bob bit him on the tail

“Ouch,” Tommy cried

“You must release me at once”

Bob did, not wanting the cat to take a chunk out of his hide

Or surprise him with a swift and painful pounce

“I don’t think you should fly” Bob pled

The cat answered “I have nine live what could go wrong”

Bob wished he had a dime for every time that was said

Like the time their Mommy found Bob wearing her thong

“Come to the roof,” Tommy said. “I will show you what I can do.”

Bob reminded him that since they ate the shingles from the roof they had been stricken

Tommy didn’t care and accessed the roof from a window in.the loo

Reluctantly Bob followed not wanting to be labeled a chicken

Tommy licked his paw and held it in the air

He said “the wind is from the east”

Then Tommy said he would jump from right there

Then leapt into the air like a baby Robin leaving the nest

He made it almost a foot

Until gravity,took hold

Then Tommy hit a branch and then slipped down the gutter chute

And how many lives he lost in the fall could not be vet

Tommy went to the vet and stayed a few days

Then for a month he wore the cone of shame without fail

Once healthy Tommy announced he was swimming in the pool much to Bob,s dismay

And he had no choice but to stop the cat by biting his tail.
