CATERWAULER<\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

03-16-2020<\/p>\n

A female cat in heat,
\nIs really not a treat,
\nShe’ll drive you nuts,
\nAnd trip up your feet.<\/p>\n

Yes, when your Queen,
\nStarts to caterwaul,
\nBeware, dear friend,
\nIt is no fun at all.<\/p>\n

Please don’t kick her,
\nIn her feline butt,
\nEven though you desire,
\nHer cat mouth to shut.<\/p>\n

She’s really not dying,
\nTho it seems that way,
\nDear kitty just wants,
\nTo roll in the hay.<\/p>\n

But now if you let her,
\nYou will pay the price,
\nYes, you’ll end up with,
\nCats double or thrice.<\/p>\n

So guard your cat well,
\nWatch out for old Tom,
\nHe’ll try to entice her,
\nWith his “love bomb”.<\/p>\n

In about a week’s time,
\nKitty will settle down,
\nThings will be normal,
\nUntil the next around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
