A Simple Equation for a Bad Outcome

Gelene Beverly (PathofStars) 1979 (Ohio)

Limerick
Kitty walking on my keyboard
Where you cannot be ignored.
I just lost half the work I’d done.
You little cuss you know you won
And my annoyance is your reward.

    I absolutely loved your poem about the pesky kitty who loves to walk on your keyboard. The way you captured the frustration and annoyance of the situation was simply brilliant! Your words were so relatable for anyone who has ever experienced this kind of interruption while trying to work.

    If I may suggest an improvement, though, perhaps you could explore a bit more about the love and affection that we feel for our feline friends despite their quirky behavior. It could add another layer of depth to your poem and make it even more impactful.

    Overall, your poem was a delightful read and I can't wait to see what you come up with next! Keep up the great work!
