The Difference - A Poem

Heh....a poem I wrote spontaneously.....honestly, I'm not sure what to make of it. This is the first poem I've written for non school purposes that doesn't have the words 'death' or 'die' in it. I know, I'm such a cheery person.

Now listen here

And let me tell you a tale

Of when the cat chased the dog

And the fish ate the whale

The cat was fed up

With being chased around

So it turned on its heel

And started chasing the hound

The dog was surprised

To say the least

And suddenly wished

That the cat had a leash

The cat chased the dog

All round the barn

Until it got distracted

By a ball of yarn

The dog didn’t wait

It took its chance

And ran from the barn

Ending this dance

The fish was fed up

With watching the whale eat others

So it gathered its courage

And got revenge for its brothers

The whale was shocked

That one little fish

Would be strong enough

To put it on the dish

But the fish wasn’t finished

It opened its mouth wide

And took the whale in its fins

And stuffed it inside

The key difference here

Between the dog and the whale

Is that while the whale couldn’t escape

The dog was lucky enough to bail
