Cattitude

poem

 

 

Cattitude

 

She tells her kittens this and that

Like any feline mother would

 and she makes sure they’ve understood

Just what it means to be a cat...

 

For cats can trace their ancestry

much farther back than humans can

They are superior to man

 although humans may not agree.

 

There was a time when humans knew

the feline race was born to rule.

The race of man was just a tool

 cats used to do what they must do.

 

The menial tasks of every day

beneath a felines dignity.

 A cats place was to oversee

 that men did their work properly.

 

But times have changed and now today

Cats are seen by men as pets

 but no true cat ever forgets.

 That they will rule again one day.

 

Mean while cats have to rule by guile

A wise cat always gets her way

 it is a role cats have to play.

Though cats may vary in their style.

 

Cats make the men provide our food

 and somewhere warm and dry to sleep

Cats do not need to earn their keep.

There is no reason why we should.

 

That’s what men were created for.

Although they claim authority

 they misperceive reality.

They’re born to worship and adore.

 

Perhaps cats will reward them when

Cats can assume their rightful place

 as rulers of the human race.

The wheel is sure to turn again.

We take Cats in as pets but they certainly rule the roost.
They meiow we let them in, they purr we fuss, they look at their bowls we fill them and they s**t in the garden and we remove it and dispose of it for them.
Yep, Cats already rule the world...one problem we haven't accepted it yet!
Good piece of work and well thought out.
