Why Do Cats Have 9 Lives? Poem by Mark Heathcote

Why Do Cats Have 9 Lives?



Okay, they land-on-their-feet
practising accidental-skydives;

They'd dodge death by deceit.
If they could remain discreet
even amongst-other-wily predators,

They'd-outsmart-their sister Jaguars
and even survive the jaws
snapping—gawks of alligators.

And because of their nimble-paws
they'd do it all without applause
they'd do it all without pause.

Why do cats have 9-lives?
Well, I'm guessing it must be
death even he somehow forgives.
