Cat Among the Pigeons

Cats are creatures, pure and simple Hunters by the day and night When they hide and stalk the pigeons How they love to pick a fight When they rest, they lick each other As they groom each other’s head What is fighting to a kitty With a blanket for a bed In the dawn of daylight creeping Seeping in my sleeping hour Both my cats are loud and leaping For the food which they devour How I love to laugh and watch them For the futile things they do Like a chase or losing race To catch a taste of pigeon stew Nothing beats a purring kitty For the comfort people need When a cat is full and happy Then my sleep is guaranteed.
