MARLEY
the cat
An overweight tabby, blackish with grey
Knock-knee'd and portly, walks with a sway
Lissome no longer, answers to Marley
Big enough soon to handle a Harley

Appeared from nowhere, ravaged and tired
Lording it here now, years since acquired
Acts like a human, sprawls in his chair
Watching TV, while shedding his hair

Stretched right out, a cat-nap intended
One cannot miss his stomach extended
He offers for all a view of his girth
The largest cat-pot on the face of the earth

Playful and haughty, affectionate too
No taste for hunting a varmint or two
Personally chooses those who may pet
Hisses and scratches when seeing the vet

No time for canines, or other such creature
Convinced that a feline's the best one to feature
Dignified, regal..... self-rated star
Surveys his domain from the roof of a car

He does have one foe, a cat from the farm
But both merely howl, neither do harm
Marley's a softie, resembles a puma
Who offers us warmth, and feline good humor.
