The Cat in the Caff

Hello Poetry Lovers

I know this is worldwide news now, about the tragedy they have called Storm Dobby. An unsuspecting cafe run by Mrs Slagg had a very unwelcome visitor recently. The worst tragedy since King Kong!

Now, what can we say to this disaster?! Well, clever poet Sharron Green has summed this incident up beautifully. It even cheered up Mrs Slagg. Do read on….

The Cat in the Caff

The cat sat in the Slaggs cafe,
she licked it very much.


Her paws purrused the decor,
it had a hint of hutch.
She felt a little oversized,
fur it was such a squeeze,


it would be a catastrophe 
if she were to sneeze.
A full house was a feat indeed


though not with one mouth solely, 
one that mewed for tuna melt
and sardine roly poly.


The Slaggs tried hard to shoo her out
but Dobby swished away


she was a feline squatter 
in the latest cat cafe.

Thank you so much, Sharron for this terrific piece. Wasn’t it wonderful, PL’s?!

As you can see in the above photo, there is not a shred of remorse from that furry whiskered whirlwind! And as to Mrs Slagg’s cafe owning future, well, watch this space…..

Thanks for tuning in, PL’s and reading this fitting tribute. We’ll be back with more poetry action real soon……
