Deborah Burch Poet Couplet

Ode To Cats

Come 'ere kitty eyes so green
Tell me why you're so dang mean
Climbin' curtins and the walls
Midnight rampage through the halls
Chasin' air but never rats
You should know I hate cats!

*just a note: i dont hate cats...(as long as they realize and behave as dogs)...any i have been owned by realize this and quickly learn to fetch, come, sit, no, and master the english language...as such....this kitten(now a cat) is my son's: Oliver, appropriatly named, who is the real-life version of "Garfield" in every possible way...and dearly loved :)
big hugs~deb
*update: 4.4.2021...Oliver left for the rainbow bridge...

Terry L. Allen April 15, 2012 at 1:22 AM As an owner of both cats and dogs I love this. Of the two cats I have one acts more like a dog and the other stays much to herself and if you didn't know she lived here you wouldn't. I love the individual personalities of each of my animals. My kind of poem another fun read. Huggs TLee Deborah Burch April 15, 2012 at 2:28 AM lol thank you TLee...(soupmail) :)

Mark Goodson March 26, 2012 at 9:53 AM I grew up with hunting dogs-thinking cats were worthless as pets. My wife brought home Molly, a house cat. A cat in the house went against every nerve in my body but I gave in to the wife. As time passed- Molly became a great family pet. And like unto family- we cried when she died- including me. Loved your poem!! Deborah Burch March 26, 2012 at 6:00 PM Thank you so much,Mark, for sharing...I can truely relate...I am sorry about Molly. I am certain y'all still miss her...Big Huggss,love~deb

Natalie The Rogue Rhymer March 23, 2012 at 10:40 AM Deborah this is a fun one! My Siamese is adorable but moody just like most cats. He's a smart as a dog and comes when I call but that is about the extent of his dog-like behavior. Have yourself a great weekend! Deborah Burch March 26, 2012 at 5:57 PM LOL....ahhhh...Natalie, the dog-cat of cats....I used to have 5 Siamese inside...'holy terrors' and loved every one of them....my fav was 'Salty Dog'...and they all loved to fetch and retrieve...he had an old sock of mine that he used to brush his teeth after he ate...I could go on ....but I have catching up to do...big hugggss what was your cats name? love~deb

Russell Sivey March 20, 2012 at 7:07 PM Ha ha, now this is a hilarious write! I just love how cats chase through the halls in the middle of the night, and how they climb curtains, that's just what they are! Their personalities come out throughout their lives, even though some are crazy! I really enjoyed your poem that I have read this evening! Great Work!! Deborah Burch March 26, 2012 at 5:51 PM LOL...thank you Russell!! I hope to get caught up and check on your poems soon...whew!! it doesnt take long...BIG HUG, love~deb

Sara Kendrick March 20, 2012 at 1:26 PM Cute one..Mine comes to me on the porch and wants to rub on me and get in my lap then the next thing I know she will attempt to bite me..To me that is so scary to think about getting a bite from a cat with those long pointed teeth and no telling what bacteria in there..Enjoyed reading this afternoon..Sara Deborah Burch March 20, 2012 at 1:40 PM :) Thank you Miss Sara!!
