The 'Poem A Day' Project ~ Day 237 Poem by Flying Lemming

You may have never heard of me but I have passed by you
Slinking around quietly is what I’m designed to do
Unnoticed, I’ve taunted you, I’m very sure of that
For I’m the mythical mystical magnetic cat

I wander in and out of every flat and house
Unlike other cats I don’t look for a mouse
I just walk past your keys, wallet, purse or phone
And when it attaches to me I quickly leave your home

When you lose something that you’re sure you left right there
Take a moment to look around for metallic silver hair
Or inverted rounded paw prints made by static on your mat
Then you’ll know you’ve had a visit from the magnetic cat
