Cool for cats
Rosa is both metaphorically and literally the coolest cat.

A little poem for you:
Broken-Rhythym Haiku
Our cat
is the greatest thing on four legs
since Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
-Gavin Ewart, More Little Ones
Writing poetry in seventeen syllables is very diffic
John Cooper Clarke
Hmmm...didn't like the broken rhythym, did you?
Maybe Gavin Ewart just doesn't like perfect 5-7-5 syllabic patterns...
Let's try something a little more fun:
Said a cat, as he playfully threw
His wife down a well in Peru,
"Relax, dearest Dora,
Please don't be angora;
I only was artesian you."
Or maybe this?
There was a young man who was bitten
By twenty-two cats and a kitten.
Cried he, "It is clear
That my end is quite near.
Nonetheless I shall die like a Briton!"
Just a little humor for the day...don't take it seriously. :)
Limericks are always great!
Yes, they are!
AND
Di-fi-cul-ty in wri-ting a hai-ku all de-pends on the wri-ter.
Have a great day!
There was a young chap from Milan
Whose limerick's just didn't scan
When told that his thing
Didn't go with a swing
He said, I know know but I always try to get as many words into the last line as I possibly can.
Sorry.
Have a good one yourself
Kind words are always well deserved!
Here's an original for you:
There once was a kitty named Rosa
Whose very smart owner composed her
a musical spree
that ended with tea,
two Taliskers and a Mimosa!
You'd have to be pretty wicked to want to be drinking Talisker. I, myself, prefer a nice, smoky Laphroig. Or, even better, a very fine, very smooth 74' Connoisseur's Choice Ardbeg. Mmmmmm...now that's worth writing a Limerick about!
