For Whom the Bell Jingles

Noticed #SmallStory #SmallPoem today on Mastodon, with today’s prompt of #bells. So gave it a try. #BadPoetry

For Whom the Bell Jingles

#BanksyTheCat of Markerville
Loved to chase the tweeters
While they feasted on the seeds
Provided in the feeders.

I clapped my hands to warn the peeps.
At Banksy I did holler.
I even sought to help by placing
#bells upon her collar.

That stealthy beast with focussed moves
Could inch along the ground
And patiently, determinedly
Advance without a sound.

But when she deemed the time was right
To make a killing burst,
The #bells alerted tiny prey
Of Banksy at her worst.
