Cat Who Was a Clown

Cat Who Was a Clown

My cat thought he was a clown
And every time I did set down
He always likes to take his nose
And rub it softly against my toes.

When he will rub against my feet
That means it is time to eat;
For food, has learned how to beg
By rubbing against my leg.

One more thought to me did occur
If I say pretty please will he purr;
Then he said it was time for bed
But first he wanted to be fed.

Check out my next cat poem about Henry who I always forget and leave out on the back porch. I didn't see any congrats in the contest. If so, they must have been cool cats or rug rats. Right? Are there a prograts which are for and not against you? Jim

Not anything compared to your blue heron poem. I was a member of the order of the arrow blue heron lodge at one time. Also one was out at our water fountain and pond at Shades of Green in Disneyworld. Jim Horn

Thanks for comment. I had written 10 animal poems and had a hard time deciding which one to submit. My wife liked this one the best, Jim
