The Kitten sat on the Mitten
And the young of a cat is always a kitten,
but the young of a rat is never a ritten
and conversely a kitten when older's a cat
so why isn't an older mitten a mat?
Michele Brenton, aka Banana the Poet, has published books of her witty and accessible poetry, which you can find (and buy for a modest price) here.
Guess what the collective noun for kittens is? A kindle!
ReplyDeleteYou made that up! Oh, you didn't...
ReplyDeleteA kindle of kittens! What a cute and cuddly picture that evokes.
ReplyDeleteYour post about Banana the Poet makes me realize what a wonder our language is but I'd hate to be learning it as a second language.
I used to employ a French jeweller who said that English was an easy language to learn in spite of its eccentricities, as words have no gender and most of our verbs are really straightforward.
ReplyDeleteEnglish is Top Language because it's the best :o)
Glad to hear that 'Wolf Ears' is doing well Lexi.

Absolutely! I also thank the Lord that English is the language of science. I have forgotten all that dreadful Latin! LOL
Thinking about cats brought back memories of living in the Cotswold countryside.
One day sitting by a log fire with family, our cat came marching through the room and dropped her kindle in my lap. I assume for safe keeping while she went off hunting.
She licked them all clean and then gave me a few licks and purrs as a thank-you, or perhaps to make sure that I was clean enough to look after kittens. LOL
The other day I Stumbled across the following evocative poem (anonymous)
Sandpaper kisses
On a cheek or a chin -
That is the way
for a day to begin!
Sandpaper kisses
A cuddle and a purr.
I have an alarm clock
That's covered in fur!
Says it all really! LOL
