Dear Diary,
When we got to Hebony's last night, we were all exhausted. Awi was screaming "Don't wanna go a zweep!", Emuishere was yawning, Buikhu was looking like a sleepwalker, and me? I was trying as hard as I could not to collapse on the floor. (And that was pretty tough, too.) This morning when I woke up, though, I felt good and well rested. After a good breakfast of figs and nuts, Hebony and I went to her room, and she tried to help me think up a good name for my cat. We finally found the perfect name.................... Femi ! I think Femi likes it too. Then we played a game of senet, and it was time to leave. I really hope we see her again soon!

Femi: Love
Senet: An Egyptian game, a little like chess
There once was a cat, name of Femi,
ReplyDeleteWho hungered for rats just like Remy.
She grew large and svelte
But her owner still felt
That Femi had caused a dilemmy.
(I just wanted to ask you how to pronounce Femi, but it turned into a limerick.)
I feel that Rita's limerick, while brilliant, is perhaps not in the best of tastes. Writing about cats hungering for rats - indeed! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love Femi's name - it's just right!
There once was a sister named Treasa
ReplyDeleteWho never wrote comments much less-a
Than the harshest critique
Of a poem unique
Leaving others to sort out the mess-a.
:)
What's going on with the limericks? You pronounce Femi Fem-e
ReplyDeleteSo did I guess right with my limerick?
