Kitties Don'T Eat Broccoli
My calico Samii
Has a unique personality
But her peculiar eating habits
Deeply amazes me.
Whenever I have dinner
Steak, Delmonico potatoes, broccoli and salad,
Samii always gets into the act
Before I even get started.
I hardly notice anything wrong
Or should I say....missing!
And then my steak starts to disappear,
"Oh, Samii, how could you?
But kitties don't eat broccoli!
Well, I'm not going to discard the rest
Just because of you. I have to eat, too!"
Even her actions speak louder than words
Samii hops upon my portable washer,
Nudges my cheek,
And stretched out her paw
To grab a morsel of of steak off my plate.
She lets out an echoing meow:
"Give me a piece, please, please...."
One cannot resists, and eventually,
I give in to her annoying request.
Then, of course she wants another piece.
When I have pina colada in a cup for dessert
I usually leave an inch
Just for Samii
Otherwise, she'll meow:
"What about me?"
Her outrageous behavior
Makes me laugh so much
That I now enjoy
Watching her crazy antics.
Samii sticks her paw in the cup
To scoop up the pina colada
And then licks it off her paw.
She savors every single lick.
Her satisfied taste for my food
Apparently is much better
Than her catnip d'or.
