Puddytat

Hims a cute, him so sweet and pretty cat
Kitty kitty liver spots from over drinking  
Hanging out down town at the local litter box  
Whiskey sours and meows by the hour
He calls his children kittens 
They look cute too in their little fur suits
Puddytat gets drunk as hell  
Sharpened whiskers, claws and teeth come out
Tell a tale of something else
Appearances are everything in the alley
Guns and weapons are ready                      
Kitty kitty sports a small black marble
Where there once was an eye lost in a fight
A pirates patch covers the past as he goes by
Cat keeps the other eye out for murder
But only when he's sober
Nine lives and nine rounds of live ammo
Locked and loaded for battle
Never bring a knife to a cat fight
Cats fire at will when having fun
Using paws because they have no fingers
Not even one


Authors note:  I thought I saw a puddy cat.  You did...You did see a puddy cat!

Hi Anne-Lise, It is so nice to hear from you. Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Tweety Bird and Bugs Bunny were my favorite cartoons growing up. Tweety always had a sardonic and dry sense of humor which I still enjoy today. My cat in this poem is bad but Tweety Bird is evil. Have a wonderful day. Take care, Earl
