Curiosity didn't kill my Cat

Curiosity didn't kill my Cat

A Poem by Hitchopotamus

Tiddles moved with two left feet.
His style it never was complete.
He never acquired a good right foot
And I guess that's why he went kaput

He slunk about all night, all day
Little care of what the neighbours say.
You see, here is the moral I shall now portray:
Don't be the cat
Who elects himself the aristocrat.

Did he hear the neighbours horn?
No, too busy, he was pretending road was lawn.
It's fine, he'll probably be re-born
As a pretty little unicorn

On a pedestal did Tiddles stand
Unless you had some milk in hand
And even then if it contained gluten
He'd look at you like you were Vladimir Putin

If it's cuddles or affection you're after
I'm afraid you'll just be met with laughter,
And don't even think about trying something littler,
Cause he'll treat you like you called him Hitler.

So don't tell me curiosity killed my cat
No I don't buy into all that.
You see, he elected himself as an aristocrat
And that's why Tiddles went ka-splat.

oh no ...if it weren't for the tragedy the humor would stand out more ... poor Tiddles ... cats are so aristocratic indeed ... you have depicted them at their best .. aloof, distainful and independent to beat hell .. but adorable and companions to many ... truly hope this is not confessional :O
