Cat Fight Poem by Keith Shorrocks Johnson

The cats are having a fight
With Scruffy caterwauling
And Fang chasing her.

Bloody hell
They have been together
Now for knocking on 7 years

Chosen from the same hamper
On Kitten Adoption Day
At the Cats' Protection League

Twelve-week old kittens spread
From five litters of strays
Between the hampers

We got a got a bog standard
English Black and White
And a National Health Tabby

They have been together
Now for a lifetime and
Never faced hunger or need

It seems that commotion
Is a mammalian thing
That is in the genes

Jesus, maybe we should
Be less hard on ourselves
About being such a washout.
