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.

Thanks Aneeqa! Cats can seem haughty and supercilious, but they can be cute and affectionate too :)

I am afraid of any animal whether its a cat, dog or rabbits..... well, ur welcome :)
Not lame to me. I had two cats and both were cool to have around. The barfing wasn't fun though I can tell you that. I like the rhymes here, all seem appropriate for the topic. A fine poem.

MS...yes, lame and sappy but for those like us, we do indeed enjoy our cats. Don't know if you've ever seen something called Pet Diaries before...a wonderful homage to dogs and cats. Thanx...bobc
