Notes About The Poem

My Loveable Cats

It has now been over a year,
two cats of considerable beauty
have lived with me and given me cheer;
they're a couple of "cutie patooties"
whom I adore absolutely.

When the younger one plays a bit rough,
the older one can hardly stand her.
She will growl when she's had enough
and will certainly get up her dander,
leaving no doubt that she's the commander!

The younger one, frankly, has the brain of a gnat.
I have to tell her often
to "Get down" or "Scat"!
But she's very entertaining and loves to have fun
and having two cats is better than one.
