When Cats Misbehave


“Nobody can be exactly like me. Sometimes even I have trouble doing it.”—Tallulah Bankhead

 


I must be the most successful poet of my time

Yet no one knows my name: I use a dozen aliases

And on occasion venture into rhyme.

It’s a cliché, but true, I’ve enjoyed a thousand pussies’ kisses.

He must be, they say, “the cat who broke the bank at Monte Carlo.”

No, but I kid! For modesty’s my most appealing trait.

As a kitten I made obscurity my goal.

Of my ill-gotten kibbles, I won't tell a soul!

 

I never knew a cat I didn’t like, Will Rogers said

He was a dog person, I think—but now, alas, he’s dead.

Wagner's music much better than it sounds. He believed that, too.

And he liked horses. I'm unsure I knew.

When Cats Misbehave’s the title of my new novel.

Dumb books outsell good books—it always pays to grovel.
