PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

standing by the closet's door

so close to the canopy bed

is a stodgey little man with his stern face

quite red

why our dear Pussy Tibbles has just passed the

hound's watchful path

scared into a can of freshly opened crimson paint

he's decided to take his morning's bath

now, this wouldn't seem so terribly funny if you

had witnessed the formidable mess

but the expression on our dear hound Luther's face

was really quite comical I must confess

and my cute little uniformed guardsman

dressed in the queen's sunday best

was later found to be wearing

what looked to be a lady of the evening's

rouge no less!
