Cat Sentiments



Ah, a new morning! I hear the birds tweet
Oh, my tummy! I need to eat
My human is still snoring on the bed
To wait another hour and I am dead
Behold, I will release my great meow
Come on, wake up! I need my food now
You make first part of my days rough
A bowl of fish isn't even enough
After breakfast I will roam and play
Then comes lunch, I can do this all day
And when I'm tired I'll take a nap
Let's see… on the couch or on mama's lap?
I'm happy when you hear the purr
More of it once you brush my fur
Thanks for cleaning after my mess
In return, I'll cheer you up when you're depressed
Clearly, I am a cunning little feline
As clever as a troublesome canine
So please be patient when I demand
Things that I desire, hope you understand
Sure, dogs must be truly loyal
But for me, we cats are royal.

    I just love this, Skies O’Blue! I’ve always been a dog person but my son showed up one day with a little furball and pulled me right out of depression with his purrs. You have captured what a cat is to the world with your warm and pleasant word choice. You have a knack for rhyme that I envy - that seems to come so naturally to you and is something I just don’t do (hey, did I just rhyme?!?! LOL). This piece is well written and makes the reader feel the warmth and enjoy the fun that is having a cat. The last two lines are stellar!!
