Claw Flaw
Claw Flaw
small kitty cat
had but one flaw
he couldn’t count
the missing claw
so when his claw count
totaled seven
he thought he’d
cheated “kitty heaven”
when he thought
he was just fine
he learned he’d squandered
number nine
claw counting days
now sadly done
his feathered wings
still missing one
