Watching Contorted Distorted Poindexter

Contorted and distorted, Poindexter lollygagged in the sun.
Owners tried not to watch until he was completely done.
Twisted into a variety of cat shapes, although he was one.
He did not move for an hour after he found a position of fun.

How can he be this relaxed? The man of the house asked his Missus.
I do not know, but he is so hairy, I am not giving him kisses.
I know what you mean, I found his hair on my toothbrush today.
I hope you put it up high, she replied, where the tooth fairies stay.

They laughed at their life and they laughed at their flexible cat.
They had a fine life, where a cat could be contorted like that.
He looks so comfy, should we try this position? Asked the wife.
You go ahead, her husband replied. I feel I already have a great life.

(laughing) This is a good one for your children's book, Caren. I have seen cats do this sort of thing until they find just the right position.

It is amazing to me how they can curl up into a figure eight with legs sticking out in every direction.
