Subtitle: Eaten By Cats
All through her life
She was eaten by cats;
‘Feed them,
Water them
(so they grow)’
She gave them names
So she’d know
which was which;
Toys she supplied
And scratching posts, too;
She had more big cats
Than the tiniest zoo.
And as she grew older
The cats came and went
She replaced a lost ‘kitty’
With a ‘kitty’ from Kent
(Oh, yes, she adopted them, too!)
And the numbers increased
There were dozens and more;
She kept fifty in the house
And had another fifty at the door.
Then, one day, she died;
And the cats were not fed:
“Feed us, Feed us! Here and now!”
Which is what they were saying with their ‘Me-ow, meow!” It is said.
The cats did ask
The cats did beg
Until one hungry tabby
Sniffed hungrily at a leg…
