The Smart One
Thanks for your inspiration Nora. Please keep writing poetry!
Phillip's a mighty smart guy
He comes up with answers, that's why
He can open hinged doors
By pushing from floors
And he walks in the room like a spy!
**** Phillip is Bennie's brother and they've always been together. They came as a team and that's the way they've always operated. He just loves being able to push doors open on his own and looks very smug when he does it.****

TICK TOCK
11.59. Even though the glass had shattered, Lorna could still see that her watch ticked over. One minute until midnight. Her watch was the only thing she had that she could carry. The only thing to remember her parents by. A birthday present from last year, the year she turned seventeen.

Great limerick! Thanks, Phillip the spy! lol. I love cats and am working on a story about my pets, past and present. It's gonna be a minute or so but reading this gave me some inspiration to work on it. Thank you.
Hahaha, smart indeed!
Oh my goodness, I have to show this one to Nora! She’s going to be so excited. Our cat Meow Meow twitches his nose to open doors. Nora told me she witnessed this but I thought she was just being funny until I saw it for myself. I laughed so hard the day I saw him sit in front of the door to the garage twitching his nose. Suddenly the door latch loosed and the door creaked open a few inches and in he went. I enjoy your cat poetry so much. Thank you so much for sharing.
Phillip and Bennie remind me of Fred and George Weasley from Harry Potter, lol!
haha, I can just imagine him entering rooms with the Mission Impossible music playing! Fun limerick!
Nice one👍😉
