What Are They Or What Are They Not

That stray beast was once a kitten
But later, they said it's a cat
Now gone all night, he's a night owl
So what should I think about that?

My gay friend, Maurice some have said
Is the elephant in the room
Some say my brother's a hound dog
What that makes mom, I won't presume

How was it the search for that thief
People said, was a wild goose chase
Is that a job for animal control
And if not who'd take on the case?

My daughter says she's a tea kettle
This is her handle and this her spout
What Are they, or what are they not
I'm just trying to figure it out!
