I have a maine coon cat called Maisie

OK I am not applying for post as poet laureate!

My thanks are for the limerick,not for you not applying for the post of poet laureate...x

Okay, are you ready for this?? OH made up a little song for Freyja and used to sing it to her several times a night. Much to our neighbours amusement... It does have a little tune but obviously I can't replicate that here - just bear in mind he's a serious football fan, so that'll give you an idea of what to expect!

"Little Frey-ja, Little Frey-ja
She is a scatty catty and we love her very much

Little Frey-ja, Little Frey-ja
She's the greatest little maine coon that the world has ever seen

Little Frey-ja, Little Frey-ja
We give her lots of love and she gives us poo and wee"

Repeat until Freyja's lost the will to live.

There was another one he wrote, to the tune of Lilly Allen's "Smile"

"Freyja's bum

Is a football goa-oa-oal

Is a football goa-oa-oal

Is a football goa-oa-oal"

This one came about because she's got such baggy pantaloons that when she's on curled up on all four paws, she gets what looks like a hovercrafts skirts around her bum, which makes it look like she's getting a Jennifer Lopez. And for some reason I can't explain, that made him think of a football goal. Go figure.

Karen I did not realise what a talented OH you have there.....I am cringing and laughing all at the same time....how brave of you to reveal all! If only we could get some audio on his performance...any chance of putting a sneaky video on YouTube?
