Haiku Nil, Limerick Won

I can't write Haiku
about Austin the Feline.
Will do limerick.
~
Young Austin while stalking a mouse
Climbed up to the top of the house!
He got such a fright
As he fell from a height
And landed on top of a grouse
~
There was a young tabby called Tigger
Who ate Austin's food with some vigour.
He rushed at the bowl,
the poor starving soul,
Each day he was rounder and bigger.


~
We are worried about Austin's addiction
to treats - this causes some friction!
He clawed mother's thumb,
so was kicked up the b*m;
He then sulked and had a conNIPtion.


* Please note that no animal was harmed during the writing of these limericks, though the odd human was bloodied!

  19. We're impressed. It's not easy writing Haiku or limericks. Austin, you have talented humans.

  20. Most limericks are simply written,
    as long as there's a kind of rhythm.
    You'll run out of words,
    but there are plenty of nerds,
    who will supply all you need - it's a given!

    Well you can't win every time! lol

    Thanks for the comments everyone x
