Pride of Place

Garfield sits with hooded eyes of distain 
Claiming the computer shelf as his domain
With a smirk resembling a grimace of pain
From to much commotion he craves mundane 

Gifted to girl who he thinks may be insane
Too much excitement, like a run away train 
Forty years together but he can't complain
When she sleeps, he drinks her champagne

Oh Garfield, is this based on a real person? Or is it a cat?

And he looks like he's an boozer, shabby and worn out. Hugs
