Mah-Ve-Lous Cat...(Humor) * Poem by elysabeth faslund
Mah-Ve-Lous Cat...(Humor) *
Look at me, I'm a mah-ve-lous cat.
I'm stalking the elephanormous mouse.
I'm curling my tail, flexing my nails...
Look at them gleam in my pretty-purr paws.
You'd call them claws.
But, oh not me.
I'm a mah-ve-lous cat.
Heavens to tuna, feed me on time.
I don't get about much outside.
When I gaze at a sparrow
My eyes scrunch narrow...
But for the glass, I'd squirm through the screen.
You'd call that mean.
But, oh not me.
I'm a mah-ve-lous cat.
Don't think bath, I dislike wet.
I don't like dribbleglop fur.
I thoroughly hate a suds-slinging date...
If I hear the water, I'll tear-carpet-dash.
You'd view me as rash.
But, oh not me.
I'm a mah-ve-lous cat.
You went to the store, forgot the catnip.
I guess I'll forgive you this time.
I hope by this weekend, my nerves are not shriekin...
Or maybe all blue-pressed, temper up-jumpy.
You'd call that grumpy.
But, oh not me.
I'm a mah-ve-lous cat.
You muse what it's like to be a cat.
Not all-every human can know.
So, I will tell you, (won't even bell you) ...
It's one part the ham, with overtures of trouble.
A heaping of purr, add inquisitive. Double.
Triple parts 'pet me', then let me lone-be.
Motherhood...God's whiskers! ...blend in carefully.
And, oh yes, you.
But I've no mood for mush.
I'm sleeping now...HUSH!
Oh, I'm a mah-ve-lous cat.
Very enjoyable. Formidable. Every cat owner will love this. We have a Berman female cat who fits this description a lot. I like your choice of words: elephanormous mouse, Heavens to tuna, and dribbleglop fur. Magnifico. Ben
It sounds like this is one cat that rules! ! ! Great poem! Hugs, Dee
What a mah-ve-lous write! Any cat would be proud to own the poetess that penned this one. I love it, elysabeth. Warmest regards, Sandra
Don't they ALL think that they're the cat's Meow? I love this furry funny, you really captured the catty attitude, all claws bared. If they were able to speak to us, well... assuming that they WOULD even choose to speak to us, because they certainly do as they please... in this poem is what they'd definitely say. I love 'em. They're the only beings that are loved because they don't listen, and are never expected to. Thanks for the smile! Hugs, Lee
Quite stupendous. The last (long) verse was awesome. Thank you. I will bookmark you and be back to read more.
It is marvelous poem mam, I vividly remember my beloved cat who was stolen. Thank you for sharing.
Wow! what a Mah-ve-lous tribute to the Mah-ve-lous Cat. I love it, wonderful from start to finish. I have a Mah-ve-lous Cat also, fabulous write Elysabeth, --Melvina--
... flat-out flippant fun, fun, fun... and as any half-way preceptive / imaginative cat owner can recognize, anthropomorphic magnificence... just so very fine! ! !

And you are a Mah-ve-lous story teller....I enjoyed chuckling my way through this even picturing my cat who has some sort of chase thing going on with her tail and insists on drinking my bottled water out of bottle tops.....Your writes could make Victoria Beckham smile and that my dear would be a first, well maybe a second...marci.xo
