I wrote two limericks in response to this week’s #FFFC Melissa’s Fandango Flash Fiction Challenge to write something inspired by this photograph.
The black cat’s ancestors were baroque About this matter I do not joke They sat for a painter the cats couldn’t be quainter Than King Charles the First on the block Lesley Scoble, October 2023
The black cat sat on the wooden slat The black cat would sit a lot like that He would sit for long hours With a bunch of flowers He’s a sitter that wears a cravat Lesley Scoble, October 2023
