House of Cats

This was once a house of Catts Sometimes two, three, even four, A house once ruled by the not Always so gentle little gentle paw. That little poke in The middle of the night, Just to check You’re still alright, And you might as well, Now you’re awake Serve a little food For pity’s sake. I said food. I’m not eating that Do you think I’m one Of those common cats. I know some times it Sounds absurd But I’ve been reduced To eating a bird Even at times A humble mouse I left one somewhere. Around the house. Stop being awkward Can’t you just see. It’s that right time That I sit on your knee. I’m a creature of beauty Character and charm, Sleeping peacefully Over your unused arm. Now I’m going outside. I don’t quite know when But I’ll be back When you’re needed again. Yes this used to be a house of cats,: A house of purring , miaowing hissing No cats are living here now: Sadly, I think, there’s something missing.
