A Cat who likes Rhymes

 

A Cat who likes Rhymes

 My cat is quite lazy,

she sleeps all the time, 

she only wakes up 

when I pen a good rhyme.

She likes a short poem 

about birds or gray mice; 

a poem about dogs 

might even suffice.

 But if my brief rhymes
 begin to lose zip, 

she’ll turn up her nose 

as quick as a whip.

 She’ll yawn and she’ll stretch
 and strike a bored pose, 

then fall back asleep 

and dream of great poems.
