My cat (day 7)

Though the prompt today was that pesky Haiku.
I have decided with the help of Freda and Jan that Haiku is a bit like rice pudding.
I hate it....

So I am doing a prompt from the day before and writing an ode to my cat.


And ode to my cat

Oh cat you are a gorgeous thing
A headless bunny! What? For me?
A dead animal cheers for that.
My very thoughtful cat

Oh cat you are a funny thing
To walk quite low, On tippy toe
to catch a mouse or bird
He could take on a zebra herd

Oh cat you are a silly thing
You climb a tree, naturally
But at the top you shout to me
Bring the ladder, rescue me

Oh cat you are a handsome thing
On sofa lay, most of the day
Then roll over and stare
And then fall off the chair.

Then give that look (cat owners will know this)
That you just meant to do it.
