Enigma and Stigma

Enigma and Stigma

Could your cat really be quite cantankerous?
Or declared a sourpuss which was unanimous;
For what, heaven knows, has a disposition
Designed for my destitute aged condition.

For cat, I personally have a premonition
God gave him to be used as an exemption
And part of recovery effort which is relentless
At all, his meows never made much sense.

Now that cat's perturbing purr is perfected
It was he who I had singly, solely selected
Of all crazy cats to be an enormous enigma
With no strings attached or even one stigma.

James Thesarious Hilarious Horn

Fan of Ogden Nash, Robert Frost and Will Rogers
And now feel like I am one of the old codgers.

I have rarely seen any cat in sullen mood. If you do it may be a deception. So "enigma" may be a right choice. cats are unpredictable to be precise. Your poem is such a fun. Though, frankly, I am at my wit's end. Love James.

My cat is a real rubber. He is curious, anxious and always wondering what's jappening. How did you find my poem? I always wonder why peple read my poetry. Bye for now. Jim Horn
