Cat Poems

[Nancy]

--A CAT'S PRAYER:
Lead me down all the right paths
Keep me from fleas, bees and baths.
Let me in should it storm,
Keep me safe fed and warm.
Let the sun shine where I lay,
Keep me young so I may play.
And most of all.......
Bless the people I adore,
And guard me from the dog next door.
- Lisa Malone

--THIS OLD CAT:
I'm getting on in years,
My coat is turning gray.
My eyes have lost their luster,
My hearing's just okay.

I spend my day dreaming
Of conquests in my past,
Lying near a sunny window
Waiting for its warm repast.

I remember our first visit,
I was coming to you free,
Hoping you would take me in
And keep me company.

I wasn't young or handsome,
Two years I'd roamed the street.
There were scars upon my face,
I hobbled on my feet.

I could sense your disappointment
As I left my prison cage.
Oh, I hoped you would accept me
And look beyond my age.

You took me out of pity,
I accepted without shame.
Then you grew to love me,
And I admit the same.

I have shared with you your laughter,
You have wet my fur with tears.
We've come to know each other
Throughout these many years.

Just one more hug this morning
Before you drive away,
And know I'll think about you
Throughout your busy day.

The time we've left together
Is a treasured time at that.
My heart is yours forever.
I Promise - This old cat.

CATS SLEEP
ANYWERE,
ANY TABLE,
ANY CHAIR,
TOPOF PIANO,
WINDOW LEDGE,
IN THE MIDDLE,
ON THE EDGE,
OPEN SHOWER,
EMPTY SHOE,
ANYBODYS
LAP WILL DO,
FITTED IN A
CARDBORD BOX,
IN THE CUPBORD
WITH YOUR FROCKS-
ANYWERE!
THEY DON'T CARE!
CATS SLEEP
ANYWERE

BY ELEANOR FARJEON


CATS HANG OUT WITH WITCHES QUIT ALOT;
THATS NOT IT.
THE THING ABOUT CATS IS
THERE ALWAYS LOOKING AT YOU
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE ASLEEP.
SOME CATS PRETEND THY'RE NOT LOOKING
UNTIL YOU'RE NOT LOOKING.
THEY ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED.

SOME CATS SCOWL BECAUSE THEY'RE WEARING IMITATION FUR.
THEY FEEL INFERIOR.

SOME OTHER CATS LOOK AT YOU STRAIGHT ON
SO THAT YOU CAN'T DRINK YOUR DRINK OR MAKE LOVE
BUT KEEP THINKING THAT CATS LOOKING AT ME STRAIGHT ON.

BUT ALL CATS DO THE SAME:
THEY LOOK AT YOU
AND YOU LOOK OUT AND IN.

A CAT IS NOT A CONSCIENCE; I'M NOT SAYING THAT
WHAT I'M SAYING IS
WHY ARE THEY LOOKING?
