"This shouldn't be hard,"
said the cat in the yard.
"I'll bet it's as easy as pie."
Her cock-a-doodle purrr
was as fuzzy as fur,
but at least she gave it a try.

Love it!! Very clever :-)
ReplyDeleteLove it all, but that opening is great. Poor purring kitty who's trying so hard!
ReplyDeleteI am certainly sweet on this little kitty... and the feline-lovin' girl who wrote about her, of course! You make it look easy, Miranda. :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteMiranda, your little ditty is adorable. You do make it look easy, but I know better. Thanks for entertaining us!
ReplyDeleteI love Miranda's verse--it is simply "purrrfect!" = )
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I know this is not as easy as you made it look, Miranda.
ReplyDeleteMiranda hit the mark with her feline rhyme! = )
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for your nice comments! :)
ReplyDeleteYour verse is amazing, Miranda - it's hard to believe you're only 11! I think you have a great writing career ahead of you!! Thanks for entering!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I really appreciate that. :)
DeleteThat Miranda is a chip off the old block (not meaning to call you old, Michelle!) Wonderful rhyme!
