I lift our Mr. Cat,
Warm and soft,
Pliant as a favorite plush toy,I scratch him on the hips,
And out comes from the lips
His pink tongue to lick upon my nose,
Should some day his rough barbs wear
(I not minding his cat food breath)
Through the skin, to leave me open skeleton faced,
Nose exposed nasal cartilage,
His affectionate and kindly grace
I could never disparage
Yet, this is a behavior to ponder
Why, only when I scratch him there,
Does he counter with such curious care?
Is it being since he’s gotten fat,
He has given rear end hygiene pause?
Could it be he thinks I clean his butt
That gives his reflex habit cause?
