Nonsense Poem Poem by Patricia Denise Newman

The cat and the rat sat down for a chat
beneath the tall monkey tree
The problem they found was really profound
should the cat let the rat fun free?
The cat asked his friend if he could amend
the way that he found his food
the rat sat to ponder the houses out yonder
and how he could feed his brood.
The cat showed the way to a field far away
where the rat could live undisturbed
the bargain was struck and by a stroke of good luck
they found a new home they preferred.
