Are these just the greatest little creatures? They do seem to pose for you and sit up so straight. I saw one like this in a wildlife park but he must have been exhausted as suddenly he just keeled over. Thanks for an enjoyable poem.

A very well-written 5-7-5 about the witty meerkat that is always ready to pose for a photo if you are ready with your camera or not. When you go to a place where they might be, keep your camera ready all the time.

An endearing Lion King character selection. I fear it affects originality. The message was cute, even funny but lacked a depiction of the meerkat being witty which was a core requirement. Good syllable counts.

Meet cats have been included as the main characters in an advertisement in England and have become quite the celebrity, they perform many tricks! Good luck with the contest, love Dolly x

I love meer cats! They are not merely little critters that stand watch and pose. The mere thought of them sends me into raptures. Thank you for profiling such interesting little animals.

Not often does a 'meerkat' get into a poem, but you sneaked him as Marty.

They do do their desert tricks. Apparently, the photographer captured them in a pose for your post. LOL

Like it all. Best wishes in your contest entry.

Amusing and creative 5-7-5. You have found the right animal to "pose". I've wondered about the agility and grace movements of the meerkat.

Nice one! I like Meerkats :) Loved the word play at the end and I like the photo. Great contest entry - it fits the 'witty' tone required and definitely is true of a cats' nature :)
