Notorious
The quickest way to see your life
Go on a downward spiral
Is doing something stupid and
Discerning it’s gone viral.
A young man lured a local cat
And when it came close by,
He grabbed that feline, flinging it
Way up into the sky.
He laughed and so did all his pals
But someone did record it
And as it traveled ‘round the globe,
Well, very few ignored it.
The perp will get his day in court
But doesn’t really get it.
He’d like to let the matter drop,
Yet nobody will let it.
Oh, by the way, the cat is fine;
He’s found a loving home.
The bully, though’s been vilified –
On tape and in this poem.
