The Winner of the May $100 Poegle Contest
Filed Under Poegles | Leave a Comment
Each month we award $100 to a poegler for the best crafted poegle, as chosen by the Editors of Poegles.com. The best poegles are placed on the website and shared in our newsletter.
This month’s winner is Abby in Florida for The Last Time the Cat Meowed. We quite liked this poegle- fun, and it turned up some interesting language. There is something marvelously absurd about the sentence, “Since then, he has meowed a little for no reason”. Congratulations Abby!
The Last Time the Cat Meowed
The last time the cat meowed, he meowed so much that my husband passed away! My companion, my 16 year old cat, meowed at dawn for MONTHS afterwards. In the last few months though, he has begun howling like a banshee instead. He hasn’t done it all the time, as it started last year after he had to go to the vet for some issues. Since then, he has meowed a little for no reason. Now, since the weather is nice, he jumps from our fence and creeps into the woods. “Maybe you shouldn’t come around here anymore!” he meows sternly to the other cats that come around. He repeats his meow, each time putting extra feeling into it. “The funniest thing happened last night.” My neighbor told me yesterday. “I found out there is no way to stop a cat from meowing.”
