Good evening, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas Eve, Happy Kwanzaa Eve Eve, etc! Since it is Christmas Eve, and we already covered Mr. Nash’s one Christmas pome, there will be no mashery of Ogden Nashery (illustrated) tonight (but we include the link in case you are desperate for a fix)! Mr. Nash shall resume next week. Howsoever, we nonetheless provide poetry! What better time than to share some pomes about aminals and the howlidaze? This is an Open Thread, so please feel free to discuss and post your favorite illustrated pomes in the Comments also too!
First, thanks to Denny Davis for his website of Cat Poems!
A Poem for a Naughty Cat at Christmas
(author unknown)
You'd better stay down, you'd better not climb
I've taken you down for the very last time
Santa Paws is coming to town.
He's making a list and checking it twice . . .
Deciding which cats deserve some toy mice
Santa Paws is coming . . . to town.
He's sees where you've been sleeping
He sees what you've knocked down
He knows what you have shredded
Do you WANT to go back to the pound?
Oh, you’d better stay down, you’d better not climb
I’ve taken you down for the very last time.
Santa Paws is coming to town!
