"I'm Not A Pet Person!" (by Joe DiMino)
Ive never been a pet person
Too on the move
For the Petting-groove;
Came along this
Stray kitten
And soon
I was smitten:
Got a feeding bowl
Not onebut two
One pink
And one blue ( not close enough yet
To be sure I knew);
Then I found out
And bought a blue cat-bed
(He prefers mine)
Four kinds of fortified cat-food
To make certain
Healthily fedhe prefers
Canned tunanot the cat kind,
But Bumble Bee in spring water;
So I named him Whatever:
He loves a little rub
Next to the tub;
Prefers animal programs
When I watch TV
Has learned to press the remote
(Please do not quoteany of this!)
For I have a sort of public
Persona as tough
And unyielding,
When it comes to business
Dealing
Someone not to be crossed;
Have my ideas
Abruptly dismissed
And casually tossed
.
Oopsgot to go:
Dinner time now
For I hear a meow
.
