I saw a tiger yesterday
A- basking in the sun
He raised his head and looked at me
And then I had to run

I ran off through the woods right then
That tiger right behind
He could have caught me up, I'm sure
But he was very kind

He let me go, my lesson learned
And this is what I know:
When'er you see a sleeping cat
Don't linger long- just go!

Isn't corny poetry entertaining?

Heres one of my fav cat poem:

The Owl and the pussy -Cat

The Owl and the pussy -cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
"O lovely pussy ! O pussy , my love,
What a beautiful pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful pussy you are!"

pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! too long have we tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?"
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
To the land where the Bong-tree grows
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose,
His nose,
With a ring at the end of his nose.

"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will."
So they took it away, and were married next day
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.

I didn`t realize your poem was original;I love it Got more??

Which reminds me, hows your wilderness hide-a-way comming along?

The hideaway isn't coming so great. I got it minimally roofed, but then a storm came along and blew it to peices. I'm waiting to get back to work on it 'till I have some materials sturdier than what I used before, and until I have a lot of free time (this summer). Thanks for asking!
