Description

Atop the glass cabinet, Oscar laid,
He watched the roast chicken go under the blade,
Dripping with juice it looked ever so tasty,
Who in their right mind would cover it with gravy?

With a hiss and a leap he launched his attack
The chicken leg was his, a quick afternoon snack,
Darting off the table, he made his escape,
While Uncle David looked on, his mouth wide agape

In the distraction, auntie Martha pinched a spud,
But she was caught by her sister, there was gonna be blood,
Parsnips were stolen, cabbage and carrots too,
Granny snatched back the wine that she'd brought from Peru.

The twins snuck away to play on their new phones,
While granddad ranted on about the price of his loans,
There were screams and shouts as each vied for control,
Little Sarah hated chicken, she prefered lemon sole.

Reaching the front door, Oscar slipped through the flap,
He was already dreaming of his owner's warm lap,
He lept over the fence and landed on the lawn,
What a busy day, he thought with a yawn.
