Don't piss off a writer


Sid Smith, on whom derision's poured
Because, I fear, he is a fraud
Back in March he promised then
To make me panels for a pen
To give my cats a place to play
Safe, where they cannot go astray.

Such panels he had made before
Well-wrought, they were, without a flaw
But by the ending of July
I fear with my cash he did fly.
Sid is, I fear, a rotten scunner
And with my money did a runner.

'Quality Hutches and Runs' he makes
Alas, it seems he is a fake
His reputation can get slighter
Because he has pissed off a writer.

  1. Title says it all, really. I really hate people who don’t do their jobs (we have only been waiting to get the parking spots in our building marked for two years and don’t get me started on the Italian mail service. Or the American one)

    I hope your cats get their pen soon.

    1. Many thanks. It's a lot of money to just write off, and I am not really well enough to make the ruddy panels myself so I am muchly ticked off about the matter - and my cats could have had much more room and comfort outside during the heatwave. I don't know if we'll still have Leo next summer, and I really, really resent it on the behalf of all of them.
      I was having a go at British mail on my FB timeline only the other day ...

  2. In the vernacular of my homeland:
    that boy going down!
    Never piss off a writer.

    1. I warned him twice. I've also reported him to Paypal. Dilatory is one thing, but I think this is more than enough
