Laura Breidenthal Poet Rhyme

I Want a Cat

Ever since I moved from my old house
Though not burdened with bird or mouse
Though no pests, no moles nor rat
I have found myself REALLY wanting a cat
Without a feline residing with me
I find myself exceedingly empty
Without a furry, purry kitty
I must say this new apartment is quite a pity!
I haven’t a clue how much a bald one costs
At any rate, without ANY, I’m so lost
Missing that quiet, warm, sweet enmity
Alas! A cat is my only remedy

Michelle Mac Donald February 21, 2012 at 5:55 AM Hey Laura! Pets are always such great fun to have. We've an old dog (she'd hate that I'd written "old"...she has attitude :). This is a sweet verse, hope you get that furry/bald companion. Best wishes, love, Mikki

Nick Bagnall February 9, 2012 at 6:31 AM As far as I am aware the bald ones cost more and for my money are not as cuddly, enjoyed your poem, nice rhymes. Laura Breidenthal February 10, 2012 at 1:33 PM The bald ones are adorable in my opinion! But then again, I'm a weirdo. ;) Always, Laura

Robert Pettit February 8, 2012 at 7:46 PM Cats make good pets once they are housebroken. I just hope you don't prize your chairs and couches too much. They like to dig their claws into the fabric. Good poem. Laura Breidenthal February 8, 2012 at 7:58 PM :D I just wanna cat, yo. Hahah
