Mental Cats



Mental Cats, a homage to T.S Elliot.

Mental cats are terribly clever
Mental cats are overly large,
Mental cats always endeavor
to evade the vet and remain in charge.

Mental cats loathe pet carriers
They scratch and scream and bite like terriers.
They climb the drapery and start to hiss
They arrive at the surgery all covered in piss.

Once out of the basket they run amok
Leaving trails of shite
On counters and smocks.
When at last she submits to the injection
I fear I'm the one likely to catch an infection!
