There once was a gnat named Nat.
Upon my fork he sat.
I said, “I am eating!
I’ll give you a beating!”
So I squished him and Nat was flat.
CLA
This is not from a poetry prompt. This is from my Pasta Alfredo last night!
A gnat was actually harmed in the writing of this verse.

Oh Quilly was mean to the poor liitle Nat
He was spreading good cheer for her to hear
Not hearing a word she killed the poor gnat
Sending him into space and that was that.
Oh you are too funny! I love that one. Nats provide much needed protein!

Bill — read the entire post. There are a couple of sentences below the poem.
Thom — I heard Nat nattering. He said since you didn’t want apple pie and ice cream he’d come for your share. Then he wanted to know why, when he dived into my plate, it was full of pasta and Alfredo sauce? He said, “Where the hell’s my ice cream?” and I iced him.
Church Lady — sometimes my mind is a scary place.
Does Columbo need to be called in on the Case ??

No. Monk is here.
And I’ve never found it necessary to hit when issuing reprimands. I may make an exception though. Where did that 2×4 go?
I especially like the

Glad you liked it!
Quilly’s 2×4 is out the door
And Columbo is searcing her floor
The Nat heard wrong, it was all a hoax
Cuz tjhe pie and ice cream weren’t a joke
How did the gnat want the ice cream
when Quilly let out a huge scream
As you see this mean old bat
killed that poor old harmless gnat
way before it was his time he was in the sauce
as Quilly let him know who was the boss
Thom’s last blog post..What Hairstyle Are You?
Thom, I’ll have you know I was quite quiet and dignified while carrying out the murder. I held up my fork and said to Amoeba, “Look, hon. I just fished a gnat out of my Alfredo Sauce.” The I took my napkin and used it to ridf my fork — and the entire world — of Nat the Gnat.
Well at least his coffin was soft and warm…one less Nat the Gnat…that’ll teach ‘em…all Gnats of the world…take notice
Thom’s last blog post..Begonias as a Carpet
Exactly!
I said it once and I’ll say it again, Ricky and Lucy Ricardo, with Lucy having an alter ego that likes to kill and have this hidden desire to be “Buford Pusser” and clean up Hawaii of all Nat’s and kin.
Hey Thom Maybe Quillster had an idea what the Male Version of a Bus Wench could be called.
Cheers

Bill — I answered your comment on Thom’s blog.
Great now I am going to have a “Huge Search” in front of me the way Thom makes about 500 posts a day.
Thanks Quilly
My pleasure.
With all these poems per day

Barbara — the story you have just read is true. The names were not changed to protect the innocent. (There were no innocents.)
Poor Nat.

For some reason, Doug — I kept thinking of you and Nessa as I composed. Wonder why that would be?
