Limericks,7,8 (Dog's Bark/ Cat's Mew) Poem by Valsa George

Limericks,7,8 (Dog's Bark/ Cat's Mew)

Rating: 5.0


DOG'S BARK

In Greece, lived a young lad called Mark
All he craved was to sing like a lark
After intense training for long
With expert help all along
As he sang, it sounded like a dog's bark

CAT'S MEW

A pussy cat seeing some milk inside a pot,
Ignorant, it would become a Gordian knot,
Put her head inwards.
Alas, the pot turned upwards
With head jammed inside, she mewed distraught!

NO lark for Mark and no milk for the cat. Both have been short changed and that is that! Had a good laugh. Nice.

It seems that the challenge has ended the cat and dog both surrendered alas no art was offended in high hand' and a town sleeps safe in Ireland.
