Cat Ode, A Poem

Cat Ode

Four felines, eight chromatic orbs
Sixteen paws - lawless unlawed
Quatrains of tails, poetic prose
Posing.

A quartet of cats
inharmonious harmony
Oriental asymmetry
Kaffir confusion
On stage so we can see
Inharmonious poetry

No domestics these
A name they don to please
Us asleep, bed refugees
Killers of toes and whimsical foes
Black belts, black tails
Black pads, black masks
Adorable thieves

And flower faces
Wrinkled noses
Assiduously biting
Some microscopic imperfection
On a sculptured foreleg

Artful tyranny
Thank Bast!
Who needs TV
When they have we?
