Array ( [sid] => 59700 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => WHEN I WAS A KITTEN [time] => 2004-08-11 01:05:32 [hometext] => This poem is not mine, but so precious I had to share it with you. I'm dedicating this one to EmyStar my adopted daughter who just loves kittens as much as I do! [bodytext] =>
Little Emy.....

"WHEN I WAS A KITTEN!"

When I was just a kitten
My mother said to me,
"Someday you'll have a human pet,
They're cuddly and they're free."

She said, "They're awful clumsy,
They stumble, trip, and fall.
They cannot even see a Cat.
Sleeping in a hall!"

"Humans really aren't too bright,
Their brains are small I guess.
While trying hard to train her,
I've not had much success."

"She doesn't seem to understand,
How things are supposed to be.
She insists on being headstrong.
Not mellowed out, like me!"



"She hasn't learned to lick herself.
To keep her body clean.
And, when it comes to purring.
She isn't very keen."

"She plays on her computer
Just wasting time away.
When playing with a ball of string,
Could really make her day."

"She seems content to sit there.
Banging on those keys.
While I inspect her ankles,
Checking them for fleas!"



"They act as if they own the place,
They're bossy every day!
You'll learn you must ignore them;
It's just the human way!"

So, I took my Mom's advice,
I got a human pet,
I have named her Ginny.
And she's cuddly as they get.



Owning Ginny's been some fun,
And usually we are friends,
She can be a handful though,
I'm glad she wasn't twins!



When my neighbors visit me,
We sneak out to the bushes.
We laugh about our human pets.
While sitting on our tushes.

Ginny's getting up in years,
And becoming rather slow.
There are a lot of cats out there,
Who'd say she has to go.

But I'm inclined to keep her,
I've considered this a lot!
Why train another human pet?
When I love the one I've got!!!

I don't like cats, but I liked this poem for some reason very well put together. Its different from what I usually read.
