A streetwise cat <br />a trifle fat <br />in search for food <br />and pensive mood <br />crossed Maple Street <br />with feline feet. <br />A Cadillac <br />went on attack <br />a giant mag <br />as if to brag <br />pinned down the cat <br />and that was that. <br />The driver saw <br />a flattened paw <br />he quickly cursed <br />and then reversed <br />sharp talons still <br />designed to kill <br />did penetrate <br />and thus deflate <br />the big good year <br />and one could hear <br />contented purr <br />from bloody fur <br />revenge is sweet <br />not much to eat <br />but victory <br />in misery <br />cad conceited <br />but defeated <br />though the cat <br />now is flat.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-cat-and-the-cadillac/
