Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
Old Tom killed the rat
and brought it to Miss Anna,
dropped it there upon the mat
and said he’d leave Montana,
never to return, he swore,
if Anna left him flat,
but Anna smiled as ne’er before,
and Tom’s a happy cat.
Line count: 8
Rhymed abab
For Express It In Eight, 01.14.23
Prompt: In Montana, it’s illegal to give a rat as a present.
