PICCADILLY ALLEY CAT

This is a story about a kitty 
alley cat, that everyone calls smelly 

she lives in a junk yard broken telly 

by Mother Macs in Back Piccadilly 

she needs a human to scratch her belly 

and to feed her cat food set in jelly.

           Of course it doesn’t have to be jelly  

She likes chocolate does little miss kitty

         And a lump of cheese to fill her belly 

Cause it’s not her fault that she’s so smelly 

It’s the junk they sling in Piccadilly 

Where she sleeps in that broken old telly.

          But she likes it in her cosy telly 

As long as she gets to eat her jelly 

There’s plenty of scraps in Piccadilly 

But not the sort that would suit a Kitty 

Take-Away litter and sick so smelly 

Not the Carry-Out for her thin belly

       Feed her don’t tease her and scratch her belly 

And take a new cushion for her telly 

The one she’s got now is really Smelly 

And don’t forget she likes cat food jelly 

And that she answers to Cat not Kitty 

Next time you see her in Piccadilly

        If you’re a long way from Piccadilly 

But you’ve got spare food to fill her Belly 

You can mail her some addressed to Kitty 

The one called Cat that lives in the telly 

She’s the one that loves to eat some jelly 

The scrawny tabby that’s very Smelly

          I know you don’t like her oh so smelly  

But that’s just life in Back Piccadilly 

You could take a jar of squishy jelly 

And massage it on to her thin Belly 

take a winter blanket for her telly 

make a scrawny mog a pretty kitty.

Kitty alley cat from Piccadilly

Smelly and scrawny tabby thin belly

Telly that she sleeps in, eats some jelly.

Syllable sestina...

SYLLABLE SESTINA
I haven't posted anything for a few days because I've been busy with this new craze - The Syllable Sestina, which I first saw on Tiel Aisha Ansari's blog 
She of course is brilliant at them, you only have to read her regular sestina's to find the depth and breadth of her capabilities.

COMPETITION                                                                                                                                          Also, I believe that there is a competition being held by Wags Review, for anybody interested in this form. Although you'll need to hurry 'cos the deadline is March the 1st. You should Clink~the~link as they can explain it far better than I.

ADDICTIVE AS SUDOKU
The troube with the Syllable Sestina, is that it is as addictive as Sudoku. It's one of those games you just MUST play. If you do have a go and post something on your blog, please leave a comment and link on this blog as I'd be interested to read whatever you write.
FIRST ATTEMPTS
Okay, I better explain the rules as I understand them, although, you'd be safer to check out one of the links above. Here goes:  Firstly the poem only contains six syllables, which are repeated in the same pattern of end words as in a regular sestina. So the sixth syllable of the first line, becomes the first syllable of the second line and so on.

123456

615243

364125

532614

451362

246531

I've done a few, but you'll have to bear with me, as they're probably not syllabically perfect.

 If you do one please leave a comment on this post with a link to the piece on your blog, as I'd be very interested to read YOUR interpretation of this form.

HERE'S ONE:

FORK OFF

Coffee or tea Madam?

Sham of fad free tea or

more damn tea, coffee mad

made for free, scam of tea?

Teas made of orange seed.

See tea spam ad, fork off!

I wrote this about a year ago and originally posted it on my SweetTalkingGuy blog.

ANDY SEWINA

They said I’ve got to write a sestina
I said my name is Andy Sewina
Would you like a bite of my banana
How long till you get some new pyjama
Is that a felt hat or a fedora
Did you sail into the new marina

I once met a mermaid called Marina
I thought I’d tell you in this sestina
That I always wear an old fedora
She said is your name Andy Sewina
Lemontina do you wear pyjama
Oh but please please don’t drive me banana

Joey likes to eat yellow banana
When he pedalo to the marina
Everybody loves his blue pyjama
When he goes siesta with sestina
He dreams that he is Andy Sewina
Wearing a big coat and a fedora

You really can’t ignore a fedora
Even a squishy squashy banana
Won’t make you into Andy Sewina
So don’t go try to swim the marina
Who said it’s complicated sestina
It’s so easy peasey in pyjama

Do the drama school supply pyjama
I’ll bring a pair under my fedora
It’s time for us to sing my sestina
Ba ba ba bana bana banana
Ma ma ma mamma ma ma marina
Yeah lemontina Andy Sewina

Dance like fiesta Andy Sewina
Do Sucu sucu Cuba pyjama
Discotina down to the marina
Don’t forget to don your old fedora
Ba ba ba bana bana banana
Singer ringer dinger my sestina

Dreamer dreamer sestina pyjama
Andy Sewina with his fedora
Slip don’t trip banana skin marina
