Simba

As I sit here penning this little ditty, My desk is full of sprawling kitty! This dear old inscrutable friend of mine; I hope he has many more lives than nine! He's just an ordinary striped ginger cat, So fiesty, independent and fat. His lack of noble lineage doesn't bother me; I doubt that he's concerned about pedigree! He has given me so much pleasure, Even tho' he's mutilated some treasure! What an elegant and enchanting pet. I haven't found his contender yet! He doesn't ask all that much of me, Just some food and affection periodically. I scratch his ears, stroke his fur smooth; He in turn provides me with purring to soothe! Maybe there are more exotic pets than a cat, I will most certainly grant you that, But when it comes to the bottom line, No more noble creature did God design!
