Mcnook Family of Scary Cats

The cats ventured out from every nook,
As if parading from a pretty picture book.
One gave me a very scary look.
It truly had me feeling a little shook.

You’re not afraid of cats? Asked Mother Snook.
I was not sure. This one’s nose was an ugly hook.
She seemed like a felon, a criminal, a crook.
I was a bit afraid of this cat, Mr. McNook.

He rushed me and I fell in a mire of a brook.
Now when I spy cats from the family McNook
I don’t just glimpse.  I take a really hard look.
Most of them truly have me a little bit shook.

Have had few cats in the past, one was like a bouncer and a big one too, he kept all the other cats at bay. Emilia : )

Fortunately, my one cat keeps all of the others away.

I have Shark, and no other cat would dare

Too funny! I remember a bunch of stray cats jumping at my door clamoring to get into my studio apartment when my husband was away. (Years ago)

Cats are determined when they have an agenda.
