My Cat

I loved my cat.
She was a brat.
Never used the doormat.
Never would wear a hat.
Some people thought that she was fat.
Once she chased a rat.
Even tried to catch a bat.
She was good about covering her scat.
She didn’t have a face that was flat,
like a Persian cat
Now she lays in the road and is flat.
She met with a truck and went splat.
Swatting away at an annoying gnat,
I sadly write her epitaph.

Cute, strangely macabre, but the message is in the first line- you loved her. Then her epitaph shows her playful and curious life. I really enjoyed it. Sweet.

Thank you for the review. It was a bit macabre wasn't it?
