Pointed ears,
And furry toes.
A long striped tail,
And cold wet nose.
Limber as anything,
Quicker then a rat.
Aren’t I lucky?
I chose this cat!
Five in the litter,
Five little faces.
Five small bodies,
That fit in many places!
Mischievous little things,
Their eyes alight.
Pouncing on Mommy,
Throughout the night.
Orange and white,
Daring yet lucky.
Oskar is his name,
My baby tabby.
Every Fall,
The sink he would fill.
Colorful leaves,
Saved from the chill.
**To clarify the last stanza, every Fall, Oskar will bring home leaves. He would drop them in the kitchen sink and then go outside for more.
I think this is my first poem that actually rhymes. Yay me... Excuse the end where it get's longer... I'll probably add more when I can think of more. Blah.**

Hello Sam! I'm re-commenting because my last comment wasn't very intelligent and I need to make 14 comments before I can submit my entry for the only contest going right now. XD
I've had a few rhyming songs myself recently, but it's definitely not my claim to fame! This was a nice and short little poem, even though I think my favorite part was the bit with the leaves. :p Our old cat, Daltrey, when she used to go outside she'd eat birds and rabbits and leave their heads in the food bowl as a "thank you for feeding me, but these taste better, so I saved you some." Good work, keep writing!
Hi Sam! I like the poem but, I think I understand the last one thoe... But, the things about kittens are so cool! I saw a litter of 3 every day! That litter is were I got my Dimond! But, Back to the tocic! I Love the poem! The rimeing bit is cool! Leigh
