You constantly make people cry,

'Though nobody seems to know why.

You act rude and coarse

Without any remorse,

And shamelessness is your standby.

*

You thought you were having a ball,

Acting like a big know-it-all.

Calling people names

Was one of many games,

We awaited your major downfall.

*

Our kindness, you chose to ignore.

We simply couldn't take any more.

Laughing at our flaws

Were the very last straws,

And you're going to get what you asked for.

*

So now, your payment is due.

Neener, neener, your turn to be blue.

There's laxative in your glass.

So, blow it out your ass.

This raspberry's blowing for you.

Pthpthpth!

This is the poem I chose, by Tina Lopez. I did my search for "funny cat." Her photo was on the first page, and I found mine on the third.
