Gone Fishing

A fun, lighthearted poem....especially for anyone who has ever owned a cat! Dear staff I have gone fishing I've taken a day off From catching mice and insects, oh dear, you may well scoff! But I think it's time I took some leisure time for me So instead of sitting round the house I thought I'd fish, you see. There's plenty in the oceans but instead you brought some home What a delightful prospect when I find myself alone. You may think I'm out there lazing or climbing all those trees, But instead I sit here catching the finger food that please. I dip my paws into the water oh really, what a mess It's such an awful feeling but I really must confess; If I have to dive right in there to catch these blessed things, I know it will be worth it for I'll be eating like a queen! Now don't you stop to worry I will be back in time To see you serving up delights on which I've yet to dine. And I expect when I return my bed be freshly made With all the little feline things that helps me pass the day. You might find this amusing but I really wouldn't laugh Unless my stock's replenished I'll be looking for new staff! Until then I shall be fishing enjoying my rewards The succulent taste that's swimming in the goldfish bowl no more.   © Christina 4th April, 2004   "I guess this poem could only really be seen as amusing as it depicts the true character of a cat, and it's thought process, with a desire to go fishing in the owner's goldfish bowl! And then the cat has the audacity to make demands and expect things at a certain level of perfection that meets the normal feline standards."  - Part of the Comic & Light-Hearted Poetry by Christina
