Queen of her stage

There once was a canary full of rage.
Who shrewdly trapped a sly cat in her cage.
Without a feather ruffled
and Kittie's meows muffled,
she now ruled the roost, as queen of her stage!

Seventh Inning Streach

Seventh Inning Stretch Limerick Written: by Tom Wright 6-30-2016 I once knew a man, first name Harry, A “Cubbie” fan, last name was Carey He sang at each Cub game, When the 7th inning came, And was never mistaken for a canary; “Take me out to the ball game”

Cagey Canary Cat Caught

You love to chase the old cow,
and make the kitten go meow,
I have put you in your place,
now no one left to chase.
I got you~let me take a bow.

sky witch

once an old witch from dunderry

would ride on something quite scary

did it sing did it dance

did it wear checkered pants

no twas a fairy canary.

Big Bird

A famous TV star is called 'Big Bird'
At Thanksgiving he's at a loss for words --
   His fellow birds are eaten
   Down is his spirit beaten --
What eight-foot canary is not absurd?

Cagey Canary

The canary sat atop his cage,
And thought to himself, I got you Paige!
While Paige sat trapped in tight,
Thinking about the fight,
And plotting to kill in angry rage.

Cat and canary at odds through the day A game of chase hunts his delicious prey But Tweety turns tables Just like Aesop’s fables End game birdy tweets, hubris doesn’t pay!

A Canary and Cat Tale

A clever, caged yellow canary
tricked his foe, a cat big and scary.
He flew out with some luck.
Cat walked in and got stuck.
 Silly cat should have been more wary.

Tact

Just saying my canary was alive before you got here Could it be your perfume? No offence to you, my dear Common sense has eluded me Need more tact I agree Should have said, you're prettier that you appear!

A Talking Canary

Three manic morons: Moe, Curly, Larry
  Ante up for a talking canary ~
    It attracts boobirds
    They cry, 'How absurd' ~ 
  Clever jokers rename her 'Miss Carrie'

A Tone-Deaf Woman

A tone-deaf woman in Tucumcari 
made a wish to sing like a canary
Her perpetual sadness
has now turned to gladness
It’s just eat, tweet and be merry!

CAGEY CANARY

UH-OH—SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG!
SO NOW I'M SUPPOSED TO BURST INTO SONG?
            I'LL TEACH THAT BIRD A NOTE
            JUST LET ME AT HIS THROAT
THEN I'LL SING DINNER MUSIC ALL DAY LONG!

Leery Canary

My canary keeps a pet cat;
that used to be sat on a mat,
but now it is caged
and slightly enraged;
to the bird, it’s just tit for tat!

Saw Trump In a Cemetary

Saw Trump In A Cemetary

We just saw Trump in a cemetary
Looking at grave of his cute canary;
With all his followers;
Blooming idiot flowers;
Moved to city declared a sanctuary.

Sage Bird

There once was a yellow canary sage, 
Who trapped a naughty cat in a cage
With feathers so bright, 
It plotted all night, 
Till the cat escaped and ate it in rage.

Bush Had Become Legendary

Bush Had Become Legendary

In choir, Bush was known to be legendary; 
Had heard he could sing just like a canary; 
We realized, 
Milk homogenized; 
Scare cows who they did milk daily in dairy.

He never tried to milk anyone and was the
kindest President we will have ever known.

I Spell a Cat - Picture Prompt

The life of a magicians cat is dread
Especially when old spells are misread
He magicked a canary
But alas, O'contrary
I ended up in the darn cage instead

Crafty Maneuver

The house cat unlatched the cage door; Squeezed in to then find he's done for. A quick turn-about Canary flew out! Cat's stuck, and bird's free to explore!
