Madam Mog and Chatty Cat
By Meg Harrison
Madam Mog and Chatty Cat
Living in a two-room flat
With their owner Maggie Moo
On Banana Avenue
Madam Mog is small and thin
Naughty nature, cheeky grin
Eyes of emerald, quite the brat
Loves her buddy, Chatty Cat
Chatty Cat is twice her size
Crooked tail and yellow eyes
Tabby-coloured, shaggy fur
With a rather noisy purr
Maggie Moo is short and sweet
Purple hair and tiny feet
Kind and quiet, dressed in white
Sleeps all day and works at night
Every evening when alone
Free to frolic on their own
Madam Mog and Chatty Cat
Make a mess of Maggie’s flat
Fiendish little furry pair
Chasing, pouncing, bench to chair
Wreaking havoc every night
Once sweet Maggie’s out of sight
Chatty Cat and Madam Mog
Love to tease the neighbour’s dog
Taunting from the window ledge
High above the neighbours hedge
Safe behind the closed window
Noisy barking down below
Chatty Cat and Madam Mog
Pull rude faces at the dog!…..
Witchypooh
One warped and wicked Witchypooh
Was feared by creatures, people too
So famous was her bubbling brew
That all the land did quiver
As night grew thick, weird Witchypooh
Did cook her garish, ghoulish brew
Her acid cackles rose and grew
Both man and beast did shiver
With squeals and screeches, Witchypooh
Did stir and stoke that gruesome stew
Her hovel hidden far from view
Perched high atop the river….

Hello Meg, as a father of a 19 year old, 3 year old & an 11 month old this poetry is nice but a little too complicated for the young ones,really great content but if it were at a much more basic level the young ones would enjoy it much more. thanks keep up the great work xoxoxo
