Don't Flatter Yourself

A Short Poem Inspired by My Cat

My Cat Chepe 8/02-8/18

Cats are obedient

They love you

They play with you

They run after you

But they bite you

If you cross the line,

if you threaten,

if you pick on them,

they bite you

Just like I bite the thing,

the man,

the woman,

the whoever that made me

At least,

I think so

So, if you think it likes you

Don't flatter yourself

It will bite you

If you mistakenly,

get confident

It will take you to town

Around and about

In your mind,

A burning thought

Of a creature

Teaching a lesson

A simply cat behavior

Can be very disturbing

So, don't flatter yourself

Cats in a hat

Or simply in your head

Can be a cat to make you

Flatter all over

And over again

Don't flatter yourself

It will bite you

Just like I bite

The system

The game

The rule

The master

Until I am

The Blaster

Oh, don't flatter
