Notes About The Poem

Where Does My Kitty Cat Go

===================================

Where does my kitty cat go every day?
When I'm heading to school, is he getting away?
Or forgetting he musn't let strays in to play?

Where does my kitty cat go every day?


Where does my kitty cat go when it rains?
Does he stop at the station and try to hop trains?
Does he drop by the airport to gawk at the planes?

Where does my kitty cat go when it rains?


Where does my kitty cat go after dark?
Does he meet all his friends to play ball in the park?
Do the fans in the stands tweet and bray? Growl and bark?

Where does my kitty cat go after dark?


What does my kitty cat do when I nap?
Does he borrow my clothes? Pair my shoes with my cap?
Do you think he's aware that the toes overlap?

What does my kitty cat do when I nap?


How does my kitty cat know when I'm sad?
Does it show, what a terrible day I have had?
Does he nibble my nose to say things aren't so bad?

How does my kitty cat know when I'm sad?


What will my kitty cat do when I'm old?
Will he switch on the TV before being told?
Will he sit with me too, watching stories unfold?

What will my kitty cat do when I'm old?


What will my kitty cat think I intend
if I show him I care with the time that I spend
and make sure I am there when he's needing a friend?

I know he'll think that I love him.   
 
**The End**

Thank you, Michelle. I enjoy the more playful contests, they really give us a chance to lighten up a little. Keep 'em coming!

Lycia, what a delightful poem! A Fav for me :) This would definitely do well in Michelle Faulkner’s ‘Honoring Dr Seuss’ contest. You would need to designate the form as ‘Light Verse’ before you submit it. Take care! ~Mark
