Why accuse me of that?
I hardly beg
And rarely steal
I'm the oh so innocent cat"
That's what I told my owner
And she believed it all
They are so silly
So naive
I can tell them and they'll believe it all
"I think I saw the dog around
Have you checked it wasn't him
He likes to eat
All your scraps
You can see it round his chin"
They bought it hook, line, sinker
I blamed it on the dog
He took the fall
A night in the cold
And sleet and snow and fog.

Emma, I think we come from slightly different Christian perspectives. I lean a little conservative. But to love one another is THE thing, after loving God. And I have a cat who blogs from time to time as well – although not quite so poetic – and after having discussed this with Laska the love kitty – it seems we agree that people can be a lot like cats. Your poem was clever, charming, and comes complete with a moral. Thank you. By the way, I'm here from twitter because I follow you and I saw your tweet. God bless and keep you and each and every one of yours,Emma.
Great to see you here Craig, loving the fact that a cat brought you out
Ha ha! You can always trust a cat to get away with it! Love the smug character of this one.
nice take of the prompt- poor cat and brill way of writing it into a poem x
