What think you of "A Mah-ve-lous Cat"?

Question

Look at me, I'm a mah-ve-lous cat.

I'm stalking the elephanormous mouse.

I'm curling my tail, flexing my nails...

Look at them gleam in my pretty-purr paws.

You'd call them claws.

But, oh not me.

I'm a mah-ve-lous cat.

Heavens to tuna, feed me on time.

I don't get about much outside.

When I gaze at a sparrow

My eyes scrunch narrow...

But for the glass, I'd squirm through the screen.

You'd call that mean.

But, oh not me.

I'm a mah-ve-lous cat.

Don't think bath, I dislike wet.

I don't like dribbleglop fur.

I thoroughly hate a suds-slinging date...

If I hear the water, I'll tear-carpet-dash.

You'd view me as rash.

But, oh not me.

I'm a mah-ve-lous cat.

You went to the store, forgot the catnip.

I guess I'll forgive you this time.

I hope by this weekend, my nerves are not shriekin...

Or maybe all blue-pressed, temper up-jumpy.

You'd call that grumpy.

But, oh not me.

I'm a mah-ve-lous cat.

You muse what it's like to be a cat.

Not all-every human can know.

So, I will tell you, (won't even bell you) ...

It's one part the ham, with overtures of trouble.

A heaping of purr, add inquisitive. Double.

Triple parts 'pet me', then let me lone-be.

Motherhood...God's whiskers! ...blend in carefully.

And, oh yes, you.

But I've no mood for mush.

I'm sleeping now...HUSH!

Oh, I'm a mah-ve-lous cat.

Answer 3

A cat dies and goes to Heaven. God meets him at the gate and says, 'You've been a good cat all of these years. Anything you desire is yours, all you have to do is ask.'

The cats says, 'Well, I lived all my life with a poor family on a farm and had to sleep on hardwood floors.' God says, 'Say no more.' And instantly, a fluffy pillow appears. A few days later, 6 mice are killed in a tragic accident and they go to Heaven. God meets them at the gate with the same offer that he made the cat.

The mice said, 'All our lives we've had to run. We've been chased by cats, dogs and even women with brooms. If we could only have a pair of roller skates, we wouldn't have to run anymore.' God says, 'Say no more.' And instantly, each mouse is fitted with a beautiful pair of tiny roller skates.

About a week later, God decides to check and see how the cat is doing. The cat is sound asleep on his new pillow. God gently wakes him and asks,

'How are you doing? Are you happy here?'

The cat yawns and stretches and says, 'Oh, I've never been happier in my life. And those Meals on Wheels you've been sending over are the best!'

Answer 4

Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, by T. S. Eliot has now added another poem.

Loved it, loved it, loved it.

Even I, not a cat lover, found this sublime.

(You have now redeemed yourself for having made me feel a complete and utter dunce - Last Laugh)

Answer 5

Just purrfect.

I will read this to my two feline fuzzbombs who will no doubt concur.

I am going to keep this one.  

Answer 6

Lol, brilliant your poem captured the essence of cat purrrfectly.  

Answer 7

Hmmmmmmm........

Liquid Corn showing thru'.......

166 feet up in the air and you still go on...

I think Alice In Wonderland was written that way...

Only with a Cheshire cat....with a big smile....

Show your cat a mouse and she'll make a mad dash...dribblin all the way...

Lord have mercy....she fell in the toilet again!!!!!!

Someone please put down the lid so she won't play in it.....

Amazing...she always goes back for more...

Now she's gone to lay down on the Polka Dot Pillow...yipes, she's soaking wet!!!

Nothing worse than a wet p.u.s.s.y........

Meow meow meow meow......

...........meow.............

..........MeeeOwwwww..........

Answer 8

An enjoyable read in all the rules you need not follow to write a great poem!  We must have a show down with 'Mah-ve-lous'  and 'Snidely.'

Answer 9

I like it its fun. i really like the fifth verse/stanza

Answer 10

God love our cats.. the mah-ve-lous creatures they are.

The four legged furry things that let us believe they are our cats all the while knowing that it is they who are in charge and we are the slave to their whims!!

You write the best cat poems! I shan't attempt to do better than that!

Answer 11

That was pure anti-Manxical, a lustrous tale - I'm thinking Zsa Zsa Gabor all the way through. Purrrrfectly Marsvellous Dahlink!

Best thing I've read in ages. Thank you!

Answer 12

Purrrrrr-fectly wonderful. That's me to a tee. But you forgot about my awesome swishy tail. There's nothing like a big kitty sprawled all over you and half the couch.

Answer 13

lovely. :) lovin' the attitude in the repeating two lines. :)

Answer 14

Living in a country house with an ever-expanding feline population (and LIKING the mah-ve-lous little critters) I can well identify with this.

One of our older cats greets me when I come home by jumping on my car, leaving footprints everywhere, and meowing loudly if I'm not fast enough with a scoop of cat food.

And these are plain-vanilla tabbies.

Answer 15

Oh what a simply mah-ve-lous read that was.  Smiles are still erupting upon my face.

Just purely excellent.

Answer 16

Answer 18

Answer 19

P.u.s.s.y,  p.u.s.s.y where have you been.....

Answer 20

I love this one.  I had to read this to my kitty...I think she likes it too.

Answer 21

Loved it! I'm a cat lover, I have four. I read the poem with the voice of Stewie from The Family Guy. For some reason that's the voice that popped up.

Answer 22

Haven't heard a poem this creative in a while, actually!

This is really great for all ages. Keep up the good work,

though I hope no one on Y!A plagiarizes here.

Two thumbs up, I'd read stuff like this any day.

Puts people in a good mood. :)
