I WISH I WAS A PUSSY CAT

I wish I was a pussy cat with silky soft shiny fur, I’d find the warmest place to sit and lick my fur clean, then purr I’d have free board and lodging guaranteed to have two meals a day, In wet weather I wouldn’t go outside I’d have to use my indoor litter tray My life would be very comfortable with my owners in the palm of my paw, I’d brush on his legs for dry fishy treats (In the kitchen, his wife would give more) In the evening humans sit and relax the male would watch sport on the tv, I’d eye the ball if he’s watching snooker he’d stroke my fur whilst I doze on his knee At night time I’d go out hunting in the morning folks would find the head and entrails of a mouse I’d always leave those bits behind! Of course there would be some issues one day I’d get carted off to see the vet, who’d remove my reproductive organs but they’ve not done that evil deed yet!

I wrote a couple of cheeky poems about those strange 'animals' called men but a couple of people said Viv wanted poems about 'creatures' I wrote this one and hope Viv likes it:-) hugs jan xx

Enjoyed reading your poem this morning, Jan, my daughter wanted me to be cat but I chose a mockingbird instead; I think your cat would eat my mockingbird. Best of luck. John

the bit about the cat laving head and entrails was what our family cat used to do when I was a child. I got 3 poems written with the contest prompt I must send the other two to Viv:-) hugs jan xx
