Poem Demanding that Cats Tighten their Belts like Students
Poem Demanding that Cats Tighten their Belts like Students
There's a yellow plastic saucer down on the floor
- The cat licked it clean, and now it wants more.
What do I do? Fill up its Feline tummy. With rip-off
meat that costs good money? I'll be buggered
if a cat's going to live, like a Turk
And not lift a paw to do any work!
I've read all my books, and I've climbed the tree,
And no unshaven bludger's going to live off me.
— Martin Doyle
