Three-Paw Cat


Three-paw cat
Limp down the road
She try to catch
A web-foot toad.
The toad escape
The cat say, “Darn.”
At home, she wreck Georgina’s yarn.
“You dumb old cat!”
Georgina shout.
Knife. Thwack. Blood. Howl.
And cat run out.

Two-paw cat
Limp down the street
Scan gutters for
Old hunks of meat.
Eat rotten beef
And ladybug
At home, she vomit on the rug.
“You dumb old cat!”
Georgina shout.
Knife. Thwack. Blood. Howl.
And cat run out.

One-paw cat
Can hardly scoot
Along the road
To look for fruit.
She find no fruit
She feel so grouch
At home, she one-paw claw the couch.
“You dumb old cat!”
Georgina frown.
Knife. Thwack. Blood. Howl.
And cat fall down.

No-paw cat
Can barely crawl
Her feet are stumps
She often fall.
She drag her pawless legs along
She feel so sad, she make up song:
“No paw, boo hoo,” the lyric go
Georgina laugh
'cause cat so slow.
“No paw, boo hoo,” the lyric go
The saddest song
you'll ever know.
