A Cat Is

A cat is a singer Always on key. A cat is a tourist, With the world to see. A cat is a guard; A protector of the night. Sometimes, a teddy bear, To make the dark alright. A cat is a sailor! (Though her ship never nears the sea!) A cat is a conversationalist The ideal companion for tea. A cat is a doctor, For every sickness, an aid. Often an illusionist Into thin air she will fade. A cat is royalty Her every need must be met! A cat is a protector (Of her rules that must be kept!) A cat is a critic. The food is never right! A cat is a boxer; She can put up a fight! A cat is a lover, a tyrant, a clown. You don’t need to vote her president, She’s always leader of her town! A cat is a pain. A pain in the you-know-where! “After all I’ve done for her!” You think. “After all that love and care?” But a cat is also God’s gift: A miracle from above! So when the sky falls on you She will be there to share her love! A cat is an actress; She always steals the show! A cat is a know-it-all, She’s learnt everything there is to know! A cat is a dramatist. The star of every act. But a cat is, Of all things, Just that. A cat.
