Cats in pies,
cats in butter,
cats that eat
babies and mothers.
Cats in the basement,
cats in the roaster,
cats in the attic,
and in the toaster.
Cats in the shower,
cats on the bed,
cats are dancing
in my head.
Cats with crayons,
cats with books,
cats hang like fish
upon my hooks.
Cats that stalk,
cats that kill,
cats that plot
with merciless skill.
Cats on leashes,
cats in cupboards,
cats that eat
babies and mothers.
