Felines

FELINES She enters into the bedroom in the dark, After a secret take-out in the park, Was it a mouse, a bird a lizard or a rat, One of these she caught and ate, That’s a fact! She sleeps all day and hunts at night, And what a pleasure when the moon Is bright! Our kitty cat silently preens, And thoroughly cleans, The tale-tale bright red blood From her lips, As she looks forward to her Human mummy, feeding Her cat nips! She creeps up and onto The duvet with silent paws, And kneads a comfortable place With her half retracted claws! These cute furry cats have captured Our hearts and our homes, Cute, delicate, cuddly cats, Who have small but strong bones! Like to leap and bound And do us astound As for sure, they will land on All fours with such flair I do declare! And if they occasionally don’t, And lose one life out of nine, Who cares, not them, all they do Is think on what they Will tonight dine! All cats like to climb, But coming back down takes skill, And quite some time, Many a fireman has broken a limb, That’s re-known, Trying to get our treasured Kitty cat down, From a tree, And the service is free! Anthropologists have dug reported and Found, That our furry family’s origin has been Around, For millions of years. And these domestic cats which we uphold As such dears, Belong to the wild as much as to us. They have a majestic look of grace, Whether wild or domestic have a Look alike face, Which is part of their charm, But believe you me, if cornered, Will cause harm! If there were no humans left alive, Cats would certainly still survive, They are independent and although They enjoy eating our food, It is understood, That they could live in a post-apocalyptic World, That might sound a little macabre and Somewhat absurd, We don’t have to be here, Forever, year after year, So all cats might live one day in a Complete new civilization, As generation after generation, We pollute our atmosphere And face extermination!
