Four more. I may have to change stuff later (especially my not-so-great drawings) but since I don’t get graded on my blog, I might as well put them up now.

The Spider and the Fly

He called her once and twice and thrice

Then praised her, and she paid the price –

Walked into his den

Just to be eaten.

Beware of those who are too nice.

The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock

Italian preludes are fancy

More so when the future is chancy

Chuck your coffee spoon

Because very soon

Your real life will seem like a fant’sy.

Ode on the Death of a Favourite Cat

The snow-white cat reached out to steal

Two fish for her afternoon meal

But slipped in a flash

And with a great splash

She drowned in the waters of teal.

My cat looks weird too. I HAVE to redraw it)

The Lotos-Eaters

Why is spelling such a big deal

When it’s not the lotus for real?

The sailors tasted

The drug, got wasted

And travel lost all its appeal.
