I could lengthen this one but i like the last line, tell me what you think?
I woke up today with a cat on my bed,
Which doesn't sound odd, but my cat is dead.
Now cats can be clever , well one does suppose,
But last night I checked and my windows were closed.
I lay there quite still, well frozen with fear,
And the cat said so clearly, "You're quiet my dear".
I tried to converse but the words couldn't come,
He said "What's up with you, Cat got your tongue?"...

Another good one - I would have liked a bit more, how did the cat get in? Why could he talk? But I loved the last line.

Written by audrie (454 comments posted) 20th October 2007 | I once had two cats and one of them went off to live with an old blind lady. She was so fond of Tammy that I didn't do anything about it. But Tam used to come back and visit, she'd only gone to the house backing onto mine.
I had gone to bed one night, when I felt the cat jump on the bed and tuck in behind my knees, and I said, 'How did you get in here?' thinking it was Jemima, Tammy's sister.
I put on the light but there was nothing there and Jemima was fast asleep in the kitchen. I just knew that Tammy was dead.
In the morning, I went to see the old lady and her husband said they'd had to put her to sleep as she'd been poisoned by slug pellets.
To this day I believe it was Tammy coming to say goodbye. | Audrie

Written by William87 (30 comments posted) 20th November 2007 | Ahhh. I thought this was great
And the last line was very funny I thought.
I don't think it needs to be longer than this though. Of course you could lengthen it if you want, but I don't think that's necessary, It's great as it is I think.
