Poem

"Do I know why I wrote this? No. Will it win the contest? No comment. Did I like writing it? Yes! Does pants mean something different to everyone reading the poem? Shut up brain!"
Quote by Poet 

So, my cat Samson (RIP)
Was also called 
"Handsome Pantsome"
As for some reason
I labelled all his moods
And foibles
With pants (AKA trousers)

Some days he was
Samson Cranky Pantsome
When things didn't go his way
And we thought no less of him

Some days he was
Samson Fancy Pantsome
As he chose to balance 
On top of the scratching post
With a look that suggested
Applause was required
He was applauded and adored

At the vets he'd roll around 
For tummy strokes
Samson Charming Pantsome
Such a clever boy

Sometimes, he'd shovel in
All of the cat food
Whilst Keira ran off with one biscuit
At a time
Keira Daisy Daydream
Samson Naughty Pantsome
What a character!

What's this Samson?
You've sneezed cat snot into my face?
Samson Cutesy Pantsome
You must have been very happy
Blowing your contented snot bubbles
What a sweet boy...

No matter what pants you wore
At the heart of it
You were amazing
"Best cat in the World"
(Apologies Keira, you too - little lighter than air fluffball cutey)

With all this known
Why do singular actions
Perceived and labelled
Make us feel worthless
Give the overthinking a rest
You are more than today's pants (trousers!)
