DAY 13 - June 15, 2013

GEORGE - OUR CAT

There once was a cat named George

Who seemed like he was bored

He was so darn loud

But also so proud

That he wanted his own cat door

He would love to go out at will

But we were afraid of his kill

He might bring a mouse

Right up to the house

And my screams would be very shrill

At night when he was awake

His purr would quake and vibrate

He was quite the fellow

But then he would bellow

And he'd make his humans weep

He would jump off the master bed

While meowing as he fled

His nails would be clicking

Or his bum he'd be licking

And then jump back on my head

His sandpaper kisses were rough

I'd tell him it was quite enough

He'd be in my face

His eyes full of grace

And I knew he had called my bluff

He's our dear wonderful George

He certainly won't be ignored

He may be so loud

And may be so proud

But he's the cat we adore
