Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Change of Approach

Born and raised in the alley, I

Had a Momma who taught me right,

Not be like those who'd screech and cry

All wee hours, but be polite.

My Momma taught me that for sure

Having good manners was best way

To go about impressing her,

Present myself during the day.

Too off putting be nightly roam

And making racket, Momma said,

Better visit her at her home,

Other suitors, I'd be ahead.

So door to door, Tom Cat, I be

Looking for Miss Kitty for me.
