Cats Should Be Exterminated

A sensible and reasonable proposal.

Cats Should Be Exterminated

 

By Elton Camp

 

I am making a call for action long overdue

For there is an important task we need to do

They have crept into our lives with little note

Now it is the time to take them by the throat

 

Bleeding heart groups like PETA and the SPCA

Mustn’t be allowed an unfavorable word to say

House cats, of all pets, should have the distinction

Of being the first parasites to experience extinction

 

While a tiny, little kitten may be somewhat okay

As adults, they certainly don’t remain that way

There’s nothing of value or worth that cats do

Yet, they expect, at all times, to be catered to

 

Upholstery on our furniture they will fiercely tear

That is, after they have littered it all with hair

If the housecat we, even in a small way, displease

It will scratch or bite and maybe even cause disease

 

It’s an animal stupid enough to stay up in a tree

An expect a human to climb up and set it free

A cat demands to be fed only the very finest food

Perhaps it condescends to eat if it is in the mood

 

The time has passed to let them have their way

Every single cat we should round up and slay

That this tinges on the cruel some may protest

But for all concerned, it is unquestionably best
