Dear Reader,

 

     This poem is a spoof on my poem "The Ne'er King".  My wife and I currently have 13 cats, so I know whereof I speak.  Enjoy the piece.

The Chair Cat

 
          Not just about any cat…
 
There in the chair the Chair Cat lies
He dreams of birds behind closed eyes
His feet faint kick, His head does twitch
He sleeps there safe, there in His niche
 
Most lazy, He, among His clique
Too tired, He, for hide and seek
There yawning mouth does open wide
No, He’ll not play, He has His pride!
 
He’ll answer not His name today
He’s resting there and there He’ll stay
He'll lay right there in Chair-Cat chair
Do what ' world will, He doesn't care
 
He snuggles there in pillow soft
His nose gives sniff, He smells scent waft
There turns, He, then His noble head
Then rests it back on His soft bed
 
He’ll dream sweet dreams, sport peaceful look
And but for sleep no thought He’ll brook
All day He’ll rest in luxury
He stretches there in majesty
 
Serene, with comforts He was filled!
No dog barks heard, no vermin killed
To rest there peaceful was His plan
The Chair Cat, He, chair’s biggest fan

Author's Note

Answering Sheila on the pronunciation of the word \"clique\". Ah yes, there are two pronunciation of the word \"clique\". Even my wife confronted me on this issue. However, the most common pronunctiation is \"kleek\" and so it rhymes with \"seek\". The secondary pronunciation is \"klik\", which doesn\'t rhyme, of course. I hope that clarifies things.

And while we\'re on pronunciation, we might as well tackle the other pronunciation issue of this poem, i.e., the word niche, which can be pronounced neech or nitch. Clearly I intend the later in this case to complete the rhyme.

Cats! We have a cat who lives with us as well and he his area and respects ours. When we give thanks for our meal he waits for us to give thanks for his then he eats. He does not have a cat litter in our home because he does his business outside and only comes in to sleep and eat. At dusk he leaves and comes back in the morning, waiting for the cycle to begin all over again. They sure are funny creatures.
