Max the Rex

Max the Rex I had a cat whose name was Max the Rex A grumpy cat so fat so mean and large His paws would tear up all my costly rugs His personality aloof and smug Except when he would feel the urge to eat He’d purr and mew and rub against my feet And after feeding run into his keep Then snuggle up and drift into a sleep Sometimes I wish he’d leave and not return And then one day he went outside to roam Gone for awhile we hoped that he’d find his home And then one day we heard a mew somewhere And there was Max with none the worst to see From that day on he’s sweet as he can be Beloved Pet Contest Francine Roberts Ralph Sergi June 14, 2015

LOL I hear YOU! I have never kept a cat only indoor before- I'd say it really isn't a good idea? ask my walls & furniture? Light & Love

Hi Ralph! I like cats, and we've always had them in the family. They are adorable, but can also be grumpy and egoistic:) Yours is an enjoyable poem! // paul
