#29 Felis catus


I met a monster cat a normal cat
a great disdainful stare’s been introduced
and then you firmly knock down all my books
who hoots and scowls to keep us well away
a collar to prevent the spread of fleas
will hiss at nothing there and bite my wrist
the owl has lived here since the woods began
at night we both go slinking through the mist
because you are my favourite eerie brat
the owl must find a safer place to roost
I am a monster man a normal man
they leap from you to me like sprightly spooks
is this a feather in your litter tray
you need to tell me what you want for tea
