Cats

Cat's are not my favourite animal for reasons I shall tell

I don't like how they look or how they actually smell

And they kill all the beautiful birds that I love to watch fly by

They defecate in my herb garden that just makes everything die

Then they bring them dead birds into the house as a loving gift

And they don't care if it's a Pidgeon, Blackbird, Robin or a swift

Evil little buggers!

They cost a fortune in tinned and packet food

They rub their bottom in your face which I think is rather rude

And sticking their claws in your legs puffing you up like a cushion

And the sudden pain makes you kick out like a dancing Russian

Yeah, Cat's are not my favourite animal for many a reason

They're so selfish and unloyal they should be tried for treason!
