I do not think I’ll ever see
Such superb choreography
as that my cat displayed to me
when she was bitten by a flea.
The wretched insect made her prance
She did an entrechat by chance
it seems that painful bites enhance
a cat’s ability to dance.
I think she thought I was insane.
I tried my hardest to explain.
I was not smiling at her pain
but my attempts were all in vain.
I do not think she will forgive me
my seeming lack of sympathy.

Well well, I think you are quite good in allegories :)) , otherwise the irony could be very poisonous.
