It’s like someone had put your cat
into the photocopier
for where there was one cat
looking for his lunch
there now was another

In response to the Photo prompt at patriciasplace.me
Leaping over the garden fence
Looking suspiciously towards the succulents
Lizard Looks out for treats
a Ladybird or beetle perchance
Looking at him – Resident Aviators.
Spill
Animals, Food, Poetry#Fowc #Kitchen #Spill
Some say “You can’t cry over spilt milk”
put into context – when that milk
is in a chocolate pudding – and its
landed on the kitchen floor – tears will flow as
lapping it up – instead of you – is your pet pussycat
Battery
Acrostic, Animals#FOWC #Battery
Built from the farmers imagination
A number of hens laid a dozen eggs each
The effort was stored in tiny little cells
Then used to power the cooker that
Each egg was cooked on
Revolutionary! cried the farmer
Yelping as he consumed the hot fried eggs
Escape
Acrostic, Animals, PoetryTuesday 16th July 2019
#FOWC #Escape
Everyday the kids would go to the hamster cage
Seeing their pet
Congregating the wood shavings
A great amusement for the kids – what wasn’t known – their
Pet was enjoying a second lunch by the wall, an
Escape tunnel towards the garden was being built.
Beaver
Acrostic, Animals, Poetry#Coloryourworld #Cyw #Beaver
Behind that pile of logs
Expect to find
A master dam builder
Versatile in river control
Examining each branch, log and twig, before laying them over the
River Bank, to create his construction

#fowc #Definition #Meaning
Taken into consideration – what’s in a word
I mean – who came up with the
great idea to classify the indian pussy cat – a tiger
everybody knows he’s not your domestic tabby
reality is they cobbled together every cat – big or small – and gave them names
On Patrol
Animals, Birds, PoetryThe black feathered aviators are out on patrol again
You could call them “The flying squad”
Keeping the streets of Salford Quays
free from the menace of breadcrumbs
as they clean a square metre in five minutes flat
passing professors doing their sums
and staring as if to say – “What’re you lookin’ at ?”
while seagulls know not to pounce or enter a fight
with the flying squad – they’ll get a fright
Two Brothers
Animals, Cats, PoetryA tale of two neighbourhood cats – c/o my profile on allpoetry.com
Sat on a grassy spot,
someplace by the house
two brothers sit on the outside porch
dreaming about a mouse
They’re waiting for their mum
to serve up summat for tea
and have been playing in the backyard
rolling in the grass with glee
Prowling through the green grass
as not to be seen or heard
pouncing on patches of lawn
hunting for a bird
Climbing on tables and chairs
in their fur all black and white
pondering what’s their catfood tray
thinking – what’s for tea tonight ?
Corpse
Animals, PoetryThe deceased lay prone
Where it sent a message from beyond the skirting board
Everyone was surprised to find feathers,
Expecting to see a more furry resident in the gap
The only question…how did it get there?
In the corner, el gato sat innocent
Not saying a word, the
Goldfish kept a nervous silence
