Scott's Kitten

[Red Poppy]

Scott lost his mewing kitten
just short of the southern pole,
his poor moggy froze to death.
'Twas catharctic on the whole.

[Cate]

okay I have to ask because it's been bugging me,

Is it Mrs. Chippy of whom you speak,
or has another brave kitty preformed this deed?

(um, can't actually write in meter yet )

[Red Poppy]

No, Mrs Chippy travelled on the expedition led by Shackleton.
Very interesting book on same "Shackleton - an Irishman in Antarctica."
But this little puddy cat was with Scott - but only in my dreams/nightmares.
But thank you for asking in such stylised English!

[Cate]

ohh, I've heard of that book, it sounds very good but I haven't read yet .

[Red Poppy]

Brilliantly written

[Cate]

Yes, this is what I've heard.
I've also heard that the author is a very talented man.
