Fiddle Cat Nursery Rhyme

Fiddle cat, fiddle cat, Please fiddle me a song. How I love to hear you play Your fiddle all day long. At dawn you fiddle to the left, At dusk you fiddle right. Then you fiddle to the middle, In the middle of the night. Fiddle cat, Fiddle cat, So lovely and aloof, You’re my whiskered weathervane, My fiddler on the roof. And when wind whistles from the West, Your fiddle faces East. And when the wind falls silent, All the fiddle cats will feast. February 27, 2023 Nursery Rhyme Poetry Contest sponsored by Eve Roper

Ha ha ha, oh eric i LOVE this. the play on words is as light and authentic in style as the fiddlers tune itself! Whiskered weathervane is magic and fiddler on the roof very clever. I love the way you play with words and i smiled all the way through this poem. love janine

I love this Eric. There is nothing else like nursery rhymes...I spent hours under the sheets with a torch reading aurthur mee's childrens encyclopedias, after lights out, when i was a little girl and the old nursery rhymes were wonderful. Yours is like those, fun and full of mystery of the fiddle cats. hope you are keeping well. janine lever xx

Thanks so much for the kind comment, Janine. I've been away from PS for quite a while, and it is really nice to hear from a poet I admire. I'll stop by when I can. ~Eric

Nice one Eric. When the storm comes in, it’s always at least cat 1!

Thanks for the visit, Jeff. We just dodged a Cat 4 storm here. No damage but some fur went flying.
