Sparta (the not so mean Kitty)

 

 

 

We've heard about the kitty who really loved to bite,
from dear Cory, Sparta's owner, who told us of his plight
how his sweet little kitty who always played some tricks,
and chewed hard upon his arm or gave his hair long licks.

 

 

But Sparta isn't evil, he's just a kitty through and through,
and only does what every little kitty cat would do.
Running round the house to stalk imagined prey,
and getting into mischief in every single way.

 

 

Hiding out of sight just to attack everything he could
This little kitty Sparta was doing what all kitties should
honing up his skills and then sharpening up his claws
it's not kitty's fault, Cory got his arm in Sparta's jaws!

 

 

All kitties have to learn how to hunt their daily prey
now Cory's got to learn not to get in Sparta's way
He shouldn't tease young Sparta and learn not to expose
his fingers just for biting and wear socks upon his toes.

 

 

Hey little kitty, you just keep doing what kitties do
keep  your owner on his toes , leave him without a clue
of what you're doing next, or where you're gonna hide
don't heed the words of Cory, let your instincts be your guide.

 

 

Just keep on getting into mischief, create havoc at every turn,
this is the way that kitties, like Sparta, have to learn.
One day you'll be a giant,  a grown cat he can't refuse,
and in the meantime live your kitty life any way you choose.

 

 

 

Go Sparta !!

    I guess kitties will be kitties. They should hunt their prey but not people prey. Congrats on your silver trophy.

    This was very sweet! I like the way that you have approached this and I just wish more people would write poems for kittens. The rhyming was subtle, which was good. Congrats on the silver!

    lol! Congrats, and well worth it. I've seen the "sparta" videos, and it's hilarious, and you are quite right! That is what little kitties do! I should know, I've got 4! 2 are all grown up and lazy now, but the other 2 are still little and tear the house down! LOL well done!

    Aw, this is so cute! When you've got a mean kitty around, you've got to keep yourself covered at all times, that's good advice! A great tribute -- Long live Cory and Sparta! We love them.

    Ahh.. this is wonderful, such a cute poem and so true. This is the 2nd poem I've read today after just turning on my pc, both fun to read. What a way to start the day

    The cheerful encouragement that kitty gets in this poem is great... Cory beware

    Good luck in the contest, Sis

    love and
    Dee
