Furball

Furball

A Poem by Matt Sayer

Bifold eyes that never blink,
A flattened belly made to slink,
Claws that hide behind soft fur,
A siren's song: that saccharine purr.
 
Morn's first rays and there you are,
A headbutt lick: "Good morning Pa!"
Then: Scratch. Sniff. "Food?" I sigh.
We both know where your loyalties lie.
 
But though I'm just your lowly serf,
A privileged pawn who shares your turf,
I'll bend my knee without regret,
'Cos you're my kitty, my purrfect pet.

Yes, it's lame and sappy, but I don't care; I love my cats.

So did I, just last the last one at 18 and 1/2 years old. So sad, but she had a peaceful passing after many years of loving care. Now, when shall I get my next one......

Your poem says it all. Very true.

Thanks Raymond! Cats! :)
fluffy and cuddly - they warm your feet
rumbles and purrs that warmly greet
humans they own at their beckoning

unfortunately, the closest thing i can get to owning a cat is a Hello Kitty....:(
It's not lame it's really sweet:

But though I'm just your lowly serf,
A privileged pawn who shares your turf,
I'll bend my knee without regret,
'Cos you're my kitty, my purrfect pet.
