Deceitful Cat

DECEITFUL CAT

I was deceived, my heart is sad!
My dear canary is now dead.
Oh fluffy cat curled in the sun,
Kin of lion-- kills for fun.
How dare you pose as faithful friend
When you have caused this song to end?
How can you sit like guest and beg--
Purr and  rub against my leg?
No remorse will touch your heart
And so I harden on my part.
At my feet your kill was laid--
For that sweet life nine shall be paid!

I enjoyed your poem, Victoria. I'm sorry about the demise of the canary, but don't be too hard on kitty. He's just doing what comes natural. Congrats on your 1st place win! Love, Kim
