John Lawless Poet Verse

Claw Flaw

Claw Flaw

small kitty cat
had but one flaw
he couldn’t count
the missing claw

so when his claw count
totaled seven
he thought he’d
cheated “kitty heaven”

when he thought
he was just fine
he learned he’d squandered
number nine

claw counting days
now sadly done
his feathered wings
still missing one
