The Christmas Kitten
I once was a cuddly kitten,
But now I am a stray,
'Cause when I was no longer fluffy,
They sent me on my way.
They've kept their big watchdog,
As he can bark and growl,
But I could fly at strangers,
If I caught them on the prowl.
I slink around their garbage can;
I mew outside their door;
But it's clear from their behaviour,
They don't want me anymore.
Now I'm cold and hungry,
And getting very thin,
What have I done to hurt them,
Why won't they let me in?
I crouch in sheds and boxes,
In my bedraggle fur,
So shivery and dejected,
I cannot even purr.
They have another kitten,
Their children's whole delight;
But probably next Christmas,
It will share my wretched plight.

A kitten is so flexible
that she is almost double;
the hind parts are equivalent
to another kitten
with which the forepart plays.
She does not discover
that her tail belongs to her
until you tread on it.
- Quote by Henry David Thoreau
No matter how much cats fight,
there always seem to be
plenty of kittens.
- Quote by Abraham Lincoln
