Poetry Friday - "My Cat"

If ever a truer poem were written - about EVERY cat - I don't know what it might be. I know my cat Bonkers thinks so! Clearly author Judith Viorst must have a cat or two of her own!






My Cat

My cat isn’t stuck up,
Even though
He’s the handsomest cat in
the world.
And smart,
And brave,
And climbs the highest trees.
My cat will sit on our lap and
Let you pet him.
He won’t mind.
He thinks human beings are
Almost as good
As he is.

Judith Viorst -- If I Were In Charge of the World
