Poetry: Cats

by John White

Created on: July 09, 2011

All damn day it sits about,

And sleeps and craps and stinks the house.

Cat litter here.

Cat litter there.

Cat litter there and everywhere.


It thinks it owns the blasted place.

It parks it’s butt against my face.

Cat dander here.

Cat dander there.

Cat dander there and everywhere.


I hate that cat.

I hate that cat.

I hate, I hate, I hate that cat.



It’s days are marked with calm ennui,

And moods of equanimity.

Cat urine here.

Cat urine there.

Cat urine there and everywhere.


It wails at night, indelicate.

And woos and fights to procreate.

Cat spraying here.

Cat spraying there.

Cat spraying there and everywhere.


I hate that cat.

I hate that cat.

I hate, I hate, I hate that cat.



My foot is down, I draw the line.

The cat or me, I do opine.

Cat mewing here.

Cat mewing there.

Cat mewing there and everywhere.


She takes some time to mete it out.

Points to the door and turns about.

Cat smirking here

Cat smirking there

Cat smirking there and everywhere.


I hate that cat.

I hate that cat.

I hate, I hate, I hate her cat
