Feline Limericks
Written by All American Cutie's cats.

Odin Odin's Revenge
by Odin
It's not poor Jasper that I despise
It's just that Fforum, one could surmise.
Mom posts half the day,
Telling me, "Go away!"
So now I must plot its demise!


Crickett Crickett the Cowardly
by Crickett
I guess it's just in my way - to be shy
Scaredy-cat to the core, don't understand why.
When all's quiet and still
and Mom's reading I will
Sweetly creep up and beside her I'll lie.


Scooter My Sinister Plan
by Scooter
About Pickwick my mom loves to read.
Oh to those parts I always pay heed.
I will lure her away
Then on her I'll prey.
On tasty dodo I'm longing to feed!


Loki Adventures in Typing
by Loki
My mom is bent all out of shape.
Fur flies as I'm pulled by my nape.
She exclaims with a sneeze,
"I will type if you please!"
Oops! Deleted her post with ESCape!


Nextian License Plate Our Nextian Mother
by Scooter, Crickett, Loki and Odin
Mom spends most of her time on the Net.
Speaking to Fforumites she's never met.
Dad thinks she's lazy.
But WE know she's crazy.
Raving she'll make it to Swindon yet!

Other Ffan Poems

Bethan Johnson The Mammoth Migration
by Bethan Johnson of
Coventry, UK
Mammoths large,
And mammoths small,
Walk this earth
From warm to cold.
Trumpetting loud,
Near and far,
The earth beneath
Shakes my car.


Rob Craine Neaderthal
by Rob Craine of
The Isle of Man, UK
O'er English stepes
Neaderthal roam;
Seeking children
