When Jack lost Kiki one day,
He thought she had flown away,
But then to his joy,
'Tis loving and giving that makes life worth living.

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

But then to his joy,
She returned, strangely coy,
With a 'partner' who's feathers were grey!

:D That's just the sort of thing I was thinking of, but couldn't come up with a rhyme! Let's continue the story...

Soon Kiki laid eggs in her nest

I was thinking more along the lines of 'So Kiki was lost - OH! Hooray!!" :twisted: :lol: :lol:


Soon Kiki laid eggs in her nest,
And proudly she squawked "They're the best!"
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

(E. Blyton, Sunday Times, 1951)

And proudly she squawked "They're the best!"
So she patiently sat,

So she patiently sat,
Until a rather large cat

Until a rather large cat
Jumped in and said "Hi I'm your guest".

She picked up the eggs she had laid,

To land on his thigh,

She picked up the eggs she had laid,
To Jack she did fly,
To land on his thigh,
And he soon mixed an egg marinade! :twisted:
