Cat

Cat Once I had a cat who loved to wear shirts, More than he loved anything else He was an odd cat Barely a cat at all He loved shirts, And baths, He loved all food, Except peanut butter. He could jump straight in the air As high as my head, So we named him Roo, Short for Kangaroo And after the character in Winnie The Pooh But he was more of a heffalump or woozle A wild creature Who ran around the house Nipping at heels And terrorizing the other residents He was more of a legend than a cat Disappearing for days on end Before returning fat and happy And smelling of smoke I loved my wild heffalump of a cat The one who loved baths, And shirts, Who lived for creature comforts, But hated peanut butter. Who could jump straight in the air, And make a mad dash for someone's ankle. I love my wild, weird, little woozle Who vanished into the night Always an enigma A legend A mystery A heffalump.
