An Ode to Engine, the World's Worst Cat.

Just a Ode to our Cat...as I wipe water off the table, chairs and floors because he NEEDED a drink from a glass on the dinner table. Directly after I shooed him off my flowers( he was snacking) which was directly after stealing some leftovers from the counter. Which was after I peeled him off the insulation in the unfinished bathroom( insulation is fun..could be litter?)

Once apon a time,
October, 2010.
There was a stray,
Found again.
Inside a car,
Burnt and Sore
The S.P.C.A,
They took him in,
Patched him up,
Made him whole again.
A little boy.
He walked on by,
turned around and
took his Dad inside.
Where he called the Mom,
Pleaded and cried.
To take the cat home,
Make him whole inside.
The Mom went down,
Against her will.
Met the cat,
She stayed strong willed...
But she didn't last.
The cat got up, looked at her,
his big round eyes,
they looked soo kind.
His name was Engine,
Kevin said with pride.
The Cat came home,
Turned out they lied...
The cat he grew,
To an enormous size.
He grew and grew,
Got Bad inside.
He loved the boy,
The boy loved him.
But overall he was a sin.
Why does this cat,
Hate us so?
Why does he steal the kids food?
Pee in the sink?
Wake the kid at night to play?
Climb the walls, screen, curtains and more?
Why does he lick his balls so well
On my kitchen counters and still?
On the table, why must he...
Be everything he need not be?
We buy the best for this damn cat,
But still he steals like a big fat rat
The foods I fed the family,
He has a chair, he sits so nice
to keep him off the god damn table.
They feed him scraps,
And trained him so,
To use his paw,
To nab that food
That keeps him fed
While I wish him dead.
Why does he sleep all F'ing day
Just to play the night away.
We love our cat, but fear the worst..
If it goes on, he'll end up back
At that damn store that sold the cat
To a little boy who loves him so.
Dear god why does he love him so,
As that damn cat,
He grows and Grows
He is 17 lbs 2 years later
I hope he gets eaten
By an alligator.
For a great big snack,
He would make
But lets face it,
The cat wont die,
He'll outlive me,
To my shigrin.
I'll never be free,
From that F%^cking cat
Because I like
the F^%#cking cat,
He keeps me up,
All night and day,
I wonder why he bothers to stay
But then I see the way that he,
Kisses a boy who doesn't see,
The issues with that F*^cking cat
For our sweet Boy
Loves his cat
They are now whole,
They two stray beings.
They found each other,
To which I say,
Who cares about Mother!
