Among Disney's characters
there is Cow Clarabelle
who's anthropomorphic
as far as we can tell.

Clarabelle's best friend
is a mouse named Minnie
with a polka dot dress,
a bow and a red pinny.

The cow had a boyfriend,
called Horace Horsecollar,
now she's a pal of Goofy,
a dog, somewhat taller.

His garments include
a turtle neck sweater,
white gloves, shoes,
and he's a trendsetter.

Their relationship
could become tricky
because he is a mate
of Donald and Mickey.

But their environment
is peaceful and merry;
theirs isn't a cartoon
like Tom and Jerry.

I love this poem Luigi, it's so lighthearted and cartoons are right up my street.

As always loved the rhythm and rhyme too.

Thank you, Jenny. Cartoons always take me back to my childhood.

Pinny... now there's a word you don't hear very often these days. My dear old Nan would have considered herself naked without one.

Nice one Luigi! This is good smiley stuff.

As this week's I.P. is 'cow', I thought that I  would raise the profile of this underrated character who never had a major role like the others.
Thanks for your appreciative comment.

"..there is Cow Clarabelle

A poem full of characters we know and love. Enjoyed, Luigi.

 

[Should that say "..of Donald and Mickey."?]

 

Keep well. Paul

Thank you, Paul, for reading, commenting and for being eagle-eyed in spotting the typo. I am afraid the spellchecker has failed in its duty. It has received a verbal warning.

Best, Luigi
