My stepfather brought a present for me <br />I saw the lid moving I wanted to see <br />Inside a kitten of Siamese decent <br />Wanting a kitten mother gave her consent <br /> <br />Rats-killer I named him this is why <br />He’d carry rats inside onto a chair I’d fly <br />Sneaky little guy and smart as a whip <br />Problem for him was me he never outwit <br /> <br />A master with the felines seeking in the night <br />Fighting defending male prowess his plight <br />Walking from school I found a hurt quail <br />Fixing its wing so again he might sail <br /> <br />Months passed as he befriended the bird <br />I should’ve known that was absurd! <br />Guarding the quail thru its stormy weather <br />Here he is with a mouth full of feathers <br /> <br />Outsmarted by him for the first time <br />Fattening the bird up so he might dine <br />Trying to use his prowess to flatter <br />The cat live that’s all that matters! <br /> <br />Copyright ©2005 Carole Cookie Arnold<br /><br />Carole Cookie Arnold<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cat-nipped/
