Caticus Cat. Poem by Graham Jones
Caticus Cat.
Caticus Cat was fatter then that
A moggy from old london town
Though surrounded by clutter
He'd stroll through the gutter
For scraps that were dropped on the ground
He'd swagger along, all furry and strong
With whiskers as sharp as barbed wire
With his tail held up high
He'd ignore passers by
With a look that said 'Don't even try'
Not your everyday pet, and he hated the vet
But a king among cats none the less
He'd sleep most the day
Though he would sometimes play
Or sing to the moon to impress
Both ginger and grey, with a few scars they say
Round his ears, one bent almost flat
This camouflage colour
Couldn't get to much duller
Though it blends in well with his moth eaten mat
He's a lovable rogue, at least so I'm told
As for stroking, perhaps better not
He looks all at ease
when not scratching for fleas
Or he could scratch you from bottom to top.
One of the best I've found on PH! Excellent, Graham. I will read more of your work. I especially loved this Tom Cat having had cats of my own. Oh my, what attitudes they all have and delightful personalities. Excellent writing. Marilyn
Well I goggled Graham Jones To learn more about his bones And as it turns out There' more than one about Who makes for an interesting read. So we'll leave it at that About Jones and his cat That has a lot of personality to show As those with cats already know. But let it be said That here's one who's glad That the fleabitten one Makes no effort to atone For whatever graces he's got (I'm talking about the cat) Who seems quite happy After taking a nappy To spend time, as Jones has told Doing what tom cats do of old, That's leaving a sign Whenever's the time To twitch the tail in the air. So if you dont take care, You'll surely share A bit of what he puts there To make sure that other's will know What he did bestow. When Graham and he were There. s
