You are so cheerful about these subjects you tackle. Shrews are a hard subject to sell. By mentioning the movie, that establishes a connection. Don't think I saw that particular movie. One time my cat was in pursuit of a shrew near where we live. She probably would have caught the creature, but I spoke to her and distracted her. That shrew ran like crazy. Narrow escape. Catchy rhyme and full of energy. judi

Comment from Ginnygray
Straightforward, descriptive, and a very enjoyable read with clever rhyming words makes this poem informative about a shrew. I really didn't think there was such a thing. Alliteration "pesky pep", "mammal mon", and Kubla Kahn add flow and interest to this fun poem! Great imagery.

Oh no! Not a series about hairless pests that look like baby rats, ugh. Well here we go, at least you warned me beforehand. I am most curious about how you will develop this line of thought. I'm all strapped in, so let's go.

Nice photo that complements your poem very well
I have never seen a shrew before. It complements your rhyming poem perfectly. A joy to learn something new.

So far Bill I have to say this particular one tackled and took down the ole funny bone. It is delightful! I wonder though, did you mean to capitalize "DEfeat" like that? Grand start to the next Shrew ... oh I know a couple of girls who could be known as a shrew. Maybe it would be funny to do a play on the word in one of these 10.
good luck xoxo deborah

Thanks, Deborah, for giving this a look. I used DE to emphasize the first syllable for meter. You and I have the TAME thought about comparing it to a certain female personality.
Comment from Gloria ....
What a cute little animal, Bill. Perhaps I will write a poem about a shrew. So right they do have a nasty reputation and I blame it all on Shakespeare. lol.
Great job and lots of fun and it sounds like it might be a good tune for the Bloodhound Gang.

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Oh, yeah! Killer shrews, ten stories tall, make Godzilla look like a wimp. I know about shrews... from Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, or nagging wife. Not me, of course.
Very good poem with great rhyming choices and creative words. :)

Such fun, Bill. Great job with your shrewish write. As always clever, fun, and interesting, especially your first stanza. (I don't know what kind of personality they have, but I wonder about their shrewiness.) Marilyn
