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.

And woos and fights to procreate.
Cat spraying here.
Cat spraying there.
Cat spraying there and everywhere.
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

Azure eyes, of almond, glow and
Warily they trace my movements
I dish-out

My Plant Killing Cat!
He arrived in my house, a small ginger ball.
Full of himself, no fear at all.
With his tiger stripes
Shining green eyes
Watching, quick.
A paw extended,
A delicate lick.
Stretch and leap,
Down to the floor.
Preen soft grey fur,
Just
I sleep, I eat, I sleep some more
I'm always watchful at the door
There isn't anything I miss
Except my empty cat food dish
