Seven Ways To Skin A Cat Poem by Charles Wiles (Best Love Poems)

There are seven ways to skin a cat
And not a lot of people know that.
Let me explain the ways and means
It's not as easy as it seems.

The first way is to ask politely
For his skin shining so brightly
And if he gives it straight to you
Show gratitude with a kind thank you.

The second way is slightly smarter
Bring something along with which to barter
A fair exchange may pass with ease
A shiny coat will both you please.

The third way for a fur of honey
Is to pay for fur with paper money
He may be well prepared to sell
A bargain deal will serve you well.

The fourth way is to challenge him
To a game of cards at which you win!
A polka dot you may by chance
Acquire to keep and so advance.

The fifth way is to exploit his pride
Tell him he needs a brand new hide
Present him with the latest fashion
And take his trendy fleece of passion.

The sixth way if you are so brave
And it is a lion's mane you crave
Is to steal it from the sleeping cat
But wake him not, don't make him fat!

The seventh way if truth be told
Is to wait until that cat is old
And hope that when his will is read
That skin you're taking in his stead.
