What a make-over! - MF

What a make-over! You stand tall
You look new, proud and perfumed
Never would have thought. To think
we salvaged you from the jumble sale

I thought I spied a
birdie up in there.
What a jumble in my mind
I have been stressed out
lately. Perhaps chasing
a mouse is a lot easier.

For Linda's hosting at GG's Succinctly Yours
week #221 for a Micro fiction not exceeding
140 characters and to include the word  -  jumble
and Mary's at PU's Poetry Pantry #256

  1. How we try to interpret the inscrutability of felines.

  2. Those cats are hard to convince.. We much rather have them go for mouse and rats, but they have to for the little birdies.

  4. Haha! Perhaps but mouse is wise too. Either way it will be a challenge for the cat, Hank.
    That 140 controlled characters is a challenge I think.

    2. It was a massive task. I tell you I won't be doing anything like that for at least a year.

    3. Can well imagine.
      The graphics especially
      But it would have been
      a great experience really
      Pat must have employed
      someone to help
      To rightly sought
      to go to great depth
      Well done
      For taking the plunge!

  23. You have a wonderful talent for crafting stories out of 140 characters :D I had no idea that there was a site out there that did 140 character poetry. It's my new obsession! Do you share any of these gems on Twitter?
