Max the Rex

Max the Rex
I had a cat whose name was Max the Rex
A grumpy cat so fat so mean and large
His paws would tear up all my  costly rugs
His personality aloof and smug
Except when he would feel the urge to eat
He’d purr and mew and rub against my feet 
And after feeding run into his keep
Then snuggle up and drift into a sleep
Sometimes I wish he’d leave and not return
And then one day he went outside to roam
Gone for awhile  we hoped that he’d find his home
And then one day we heard a mew somewhere
And there was Max with none the worst to see
From that day on he’s sweet as he can be

LOL I hear YOU! I have never kept a cat only indoor before- I'd say it really isn't a good idea? ask my walls & furniture? Light & Love

Hi Ralph! I like cats, and we've always had them in the family. They are adorable, but can also be grumpy and egoistic:) Yours is an enjoyable poem! // paul
