limericks To Mary from North Carolina

by Mike O'Brien
(Christchurch New Zealand)

A message to Mary from North Carolina
In the PRESS you should be a headliner
For you spend the most of your life
Careing for those pets that have strife
And in my book there is nobody finer

Some people may say your obsessed
They may say your pets are a pest
So to them take no heed
For they have this great need
To be loud and so self possessed

So keep up the good work Mary Lou
There are pets that depend upon you
Your rewards may be small
So stand up and walk tall
And to your critics we say KITTY POO.
To Mary,From Mike
