CATS


 

CATS


 

Amazing to watch are our beloved feline pets

Cats, cats, cats as wild as a domestic pet gets

Cats don't trampoline and lose cool composure

Or risk reputations with too much exposure


 

Cats despise falling onto lawn or driveway

Hate motorcycle rides despite what neighbors say

Steal Purina then deny when caught

Disrupt marble games where tiger eyes are shot


 

Cats burglar baubles demand high ransom

Catch mice and fowl without fingers or thumb

Rarely entertain, more catcher of prey than host

Invite guests for meal of young rat on toast


 

Sixeen years ago a tom, looking for a meal

stayed until we made a deal

We agreed "Marvin" fit our new cat best

a limp set him apart from the rest


 

Marvin a talker was not improbable

His long stories were beyond remarkable

He moved from alley to master bedroom

He is with St. Francis where our roses bloom


 

Marvin and we become companions on his terms

He would sleep warm with a dog if dog learns

He loved it when some one petted his fur

Gently awakened would stretch and purr.
