Darling Green Eyed Cat From Kalamazoo

The darling green-eyed cat from Kalamazoo
Was plotting the death of me and you.
She looked unassuming and sweet and mild.
But she could have eaten a newborn child.

Her eyes are mesmerizing people often said.
Don’t look too closely I cautioned, or you’ll be dead.
They thought I was kidding and laughed themselves silly.
But I am serious; you can ask my Great Uncle Billy.

He used to date a green-eyed cat from Kalamazoo.
She took him for every penny and took his house too.
She looked unassuming, a delicate delectable flower.
But he soon found out she was full of woman power.

Incredible metaphor, Caren. At first I thought it was really about a cat! Which means it was exceptionally well-written.
