I can't see a cat

I can't see a cat There ain't no cats in here Thats what the kid said Then one did appear From around a box It crawled onto the scene Flea's everywhere And where had it been? Here was a critter Clearly alone Abandoned, infact Its miserable groan Reflecting its stature Its clear loss of face Half starved At a loss With the real human race Bought for the kids But left on its own A flap on its door You could see every bone! The odd mouse and songbird But basically, we Saw deep sunken eyes and its face earnestly "Here Kitty Kitty" Serious doubt Its stomach distended Clearly the rout was setting Unsettling really to see I can't see a cat I can see Cruelty Often pets take on a role they annoint A passion inside Up to a point Clearly this sad little bundle of fur Had faced its neglect and forgotten to purr |
