A Cat Poem Dear calico, sweet calico,From whence you came, I do not know.Black and brown spots, white beneath,Even the bottoms of your feet.No symmetry in your design,Yet balanced as you walk the line.With mysterious, golden stare,Picaso’s work cannot compare.Lovely genetic selection,You are perfect imperfection!Copyright © 2022 Brandon Ellrich Thanks for reading!

You were here when the world began, Are you bored with the antics of man? Why do you choose to move so slow? Why do you tease and torture me so?
