These were created for the Creative Poetry Corral’s first weekly Friday Fling poetry challenge. Our topic this week is pets and the preferred format is the Limerick. The first one was a crossover with the previous day’s CPC challenge, the Thematic Attic Thursday, in which Mother’s Day was the topic. The second one is silly fun about a pet relationship gone too far. The third is a 10-10-7-7-10 Limerick.  The last two are ones I wrote as comment replies on the Fling, the last in 11-11-7-7-11.

I once had a pet snake named Gossett
who lived in a box in my closet
when one day he escaped
(the box top was not taped)
that snake was no more my pet, was it?

There once was a swell hamster, Magonagle
who dressed up in a top hat and monacle.
When a Guinea Pig lady
named Margaret Mulcady
came by, she laughed, ’cause he looked so comical.
