The neighbor lady has a cat
plopped in her window everyday
he's black and white and awfully fat
content to sit there on display
Plopped in her window everyday
he scrutinizes passers by
with practiced nonchalance I'd say
through what appears a studious eye
He's black and white and awfully fat
with all the countenance of a judge
the picture of an autocrat
this ostentatious feline pudge
Content to sit there on display
a haughty animal is he
lord over all he does survey
adjudicating pompously

haha love this, gave me a laugh. Good rhyme and flow too. But are you sure it's the cat who's the biggest judge?

I really liked this, of course I love cats and you described the fella so perfectly and gave him character, and personality and did it all in form, too. Great job. Good luck in the contest.

Loved reading it. I could see this cat vividly sitting there though your imagery!
A wonderfully penned retourne!
All the best with this
