That's That
By Malcholm Dark
I have an alley-cat, but he is
a cool Kat
He is a rat eating fool of an orange cat.
He believes
he's stylish 'cause he has his own dish
Wish I could stop him
from fucking with my goldfish.
There are kinks in his tail, livid
green eyes so pale
I've a great deal of urine stained heirlooms
for sale.
He yowls loud when he talks, he will pilfer
my socks
My large potted plant is now his private litter-box.
He has big furry paws, he breaks all the house laws
When he chooses
the fine couch to sharpen his claws.
He is a big ol' thing, he
is chiseled and lean
He whips any cat because he's raunchy and mean.
He's a unique old dude, a kick-back attitude
And shows
some affection if he's in the mood.
This terror by night, prowls
until first light
Chasing down pussy while searching for a fight.
And at dawn it begins, he knows it is a sin
But he constantly
cries until I let him in!
--I feed a living fur-bag that
sleeps in my bed
he is not worth much and that's fact.
--And
though his fur mode is in a constant shed
he is still my cat and
that's that!
During his graveyard shifts, he bestows
me with gifts
Bloodied, dead animals that leave a smell that drifts.
He sleeps in my chair when I want to sit there
And his life shall
be lived with hardly a care.
Although he is nameless, and acts
so damn blameless
When my friends come to visit, I can feel shameless.
--Because he is an alley-cat, a cool Kat
my big nasty, orange
cat...
and that's that!

haha, another gem of a write.... you've such a talent for the one-liner... loved the humour, great smiles. have you read the one by Christopher Smart.... his cat jeoffrey or something like that. and I think Eliot has a cat poem.... but neither will bring a smile like this one.
