Judy Arterburn Poet Rhyme

A CAT I DIDN'T LIKE

I never met a cat 
That I didn't like 
Until I met the terror 
Who goes by the name of Mike 

He's a walking tornado 
Storms follow him everywhere 
He thinks it's funny 
Tearing up my favorite chair 

I had to replace the cushions 
And repair the wood 
It's not a scratching post 
I don't think he understood 

He runs around the living room 
Like it's a race track 
Knocking over flower pots 
Oh my aching back 

He's not an ordinary cat 
He has a furry mane 
Please somebody help me 
Before I go insane 

I tried to be his friend 
But all he does is hiss
How much longer 
Am I going to put up with this 

He used to be such a sweet kitten 
When he was first born 
Now look at his claws 
And how much he has torn 

I would call the nearest zoo 
But I can't reach the phone 
My sweet little kitten 
Thinks I'm a giant bone
