I never really liked cats In fact, I would’ve much rather Been friends with bats Their long evil stares Their loud screeches Their spiteful scratches Are not things that I’d search for I never imagined owning a cat Or in other terms, A cat owning me just like that Even if I did adopt a feline It won’t do tricks It won’t lengthen my lifeline And it won’t be fun on trips All in all, I found no amusement with cats Period. That was all until a small kitty came Tiptoeing across my backyard In no rush and unusually tame For a stray sweetheart They named her Rosie I named her Athena Rosie was too cheesy Ebony with a milky stripe Running from her top To her bottom She was born a goddess in my eyes As usual Luck and karma joined forces To teach me a lesson in being humble Love comes in all forms and doses Athena’s a perfect example
