Food I Love

Food I Love

      I am a cat, and really proud of that
      My diet is nutritious and exact.

      My owner serves me fish,
      It's my very favourite dish.
      And I will also eat a chicken or a mouse.

      I like to curl up and doze
      With scent of dinner in my nose,
      Then later I'll go hunting round the house. 

       I dream of barbecue
       With a cold spare rib or two,
       And dreams almost always do come true.

       I love a fresh cut piece of meat;
       Without meat I am not replete.
       And tasty bits of giblet are far to few. 

       My diet is nutritious and exact,
       For I am a carnivorous cat  
       And really proud of that!

This is light indeed and it brought a smile to my face. Feels like I'd like to curl up on a rainy day and imagine me purring like a cat. :)
