| 224. Cats I once cared not for any cats For what I knew they just catch rats Aside from eating and sleeping all day They behave not and will not come or stay Their hair covers clothes and even chairs They scratch furniture and destroy carpet on stairs What about the litter box that does stink There’s nothing worse than finding sand in your sink They seek attention only when they care And lay quite contently on your favorite chair You can’t take them hunting or to the beach And insure that fresh fish is kept out of reach They scratch and they bite for no reason Shedding their hair regardless of season But despite all this I don’t now care Because I now have Kitty and Snickers with black hair For some strange reason the mess no longer matters And I no longer care that my house is in shatters Though they cry and meow through the night The way they behave gives me great delight So although my friends now laugh and grin Especially when I whistle for my cats to come in I just smile knowingly and nod my head Taking great comfort with two cats in my bed |
