If Cat Lovers Had Their Way

If Cat Lovers Had Their Way

By Elton Camp 

Some folks almost worship their cat
But I see nothing sensible about that

They’ll get their cat down out of a tree
It’d stay until it rots if it were up to me

Beg a foolish cat to eat--there’s no way
If it won’t feed, it can simply waste away

Why let a sorry cat stay inside the house
When it’s too lazy even to catch a mouse

If some cat any of my furniture claws,
It would soon be minus its front paws 

If a cat dares even once to scratch or bite
It would then be knocked out like a light

But cat lovers are nuts as I have said before
And would sculpt their cat on Mt. Rushmore
