Tom’s Tail and Jerry’s Tale
By Atif Jamal Tom the cat, with dreams so bold, Chased a mouse, both young and old. He tiptoed near with silent grace, But slipped and crashed flat on his face! Jerry, quick and full of flair, Zoomed across without a care. He set a trap with perfect glee, And watched Tom launch into a tree. Pans would fly and hammers swing, Tom wore toasters like a king. His tail once fried in a kettle pot, Yet somehow he still stayed hot. From lawn mowers to swinging doors, They've wrecked couches, walls, and floors. One day they fought with paint and glue, Tom turned purple—Jerry blue! No words exchanged, just screams and bangs, Broken glass and clanging clangs. Yet deep inside, we always knew, They’re friends disguised as foes, it’s true! So here’s to chaos, laughs, and fun, Where every chase is never done. Tom still dreams of catching prey, But Jerry always gets away! 🐭😹
