Big Fat Cat Without A Hat .....[humor; Cats] Poem by Bri Edwards

Big Fat Cat Without A Hat .....[humor; Cats]

Rating: 3.9


Outside my window a big cat sat,
a big, FAT, cat without any hat.
Its fur was white and really quite long.
Nights she would serenade me with a song.

Her song could get loud, almost scary,
almost like a huge monster, hairy.
It got so I had trouble sleepin',
and very late nights I was keepin'.

To quiet her I gave her some food,
but she got even louder with food. How rude!
I took her in, but never again!
My bed she made into a pigpen.

So I put her back out in the night;
with rain she was a pitiful sight.
Then one night along came a big black Tom.
They left like going off to a prom.

After two months of sweet peaceful sleep,
guess what through my window did peep.
The big fat cat tuning up for song,
with six black and white kittens tagging along.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
while living in a little apartment alone after retiring (an apartment where the ground level was inches below the bottom of the windows) i used to see a big cat near where i put out birdseed. i'm not sure how much of the poem is 'true'; i don't think much of it, if any of it.

A cat, a serenade...there's something of the romance here. I'm waiting for the big fat Greek (cat) wedding update? ? ? Bri, this is great, fun verse.
