What could be more fun than writing some amusing Starveling poems? Well, an awful lot, actually. But let's not get in to that.
In invite everyone to share some amusing rhymes regarding the Cat, or anything else that happens to be Starveling.
Some examples of my own, starting with one that has made infrequent appearances on my Book of Portraits page when echoing Cat-related content.
"The Starveling Cat!
The Starveling Cat!
Ten more actions
is why I posted that."
And a second example, inspired by the Handsome Lad with a Healthy Appetite:
"The Starveling Lad!
The Starveling Lad!
If you think he's human
then you must be mad!"
Now, go forth an astound me with your beautiful verses, darlings.

The Starveling Cat Stevens! The Starveling Cat Stevens!
Why'd he change his name? I'm sure he had his reasons.

Little Miss Muffet napped on her tuffet
Dreaming of curds and whey
Along came a spider, who crept up beside her
And stole her left eyeball away

The Mottled Man!
The Mottled Man!
Lost one soul
And got a fan!
The Hobo Crimelord!
The Hobo Crimelord!
Too many tongues
Did they hoard!
The Hobo Crimelord!
The Hobo Crimelord!
Out of their cards
Made food and board!
The Hobo Crimelord!
The Hobo Crimelord!
Three voices speak
Two're always ignored!

Random heist story that I made due to boredom (also, showcasing the criminal side of my main some more):
Solicitor, deranged.
Solicitor, deranged.
A great many heists,
They have arranged.
Everything is prim.
Everything is proper.
Everyone is ready,
and up to prosper.
A Spirifer for fourteen souls,
An agent for a solved case,
Constables for a masters' cowls,
And Khanate Spies for nothing else.
The gears are in motion,
They bang at the window,
They've figured out a solution,
And cased up the widow.
Every step is hushed,
Every face is flushed.
Every man is for themselves,
While we take for ourselves.
Every guard is smitten,
Every death is a delight.
They've all been bitten,
With bright irrigo light.
They won't remember,
Who broke in so fast,
They ain't that clever
Their reports contrast.

The Starveling Cat!
The Starveling Cat!
I am fairly certain your limbs
should not bend like that!

"Yes, I realize that projecting my internal dialogue onto my cat is probably not the healthiest way of dealing with stressful situations."
"Meow."
"No, murder is not the answer. You always suggest that."
