Meow by Mike
You get a house, the wife's not included
if you think differently you are
rather deluded
more likely you get a kitten
instead
Mew the kitten says, feed me translates
in your head
by three a.m. the mews have become
meows and you are filled with feline
dread.
Should have gotten married
you say to the cat who owns
everything on your homestead
in honor of "The Cat" by Ogden Nash
