Poetry. About a hungry cat.

The Song of Cat Hunger

By Paul Klusman

The saddest bowl near the corner of regret

in the kitchen of despair
Sits empty and barren for all to see

as my cat bears witness there.
How tragic the sight how somber the scene

how bitter before sad eyes,
That the world may know this hungry soul

who calls with mournful cries.
For wanting fed how long the wait?

it's been an hour at least!
For keeping hope in the heart of this

gentle and noble beast,
That providence bring after eternity

of starving pitiful, poor
The bountiful feast inhaled with glee,

then barfed upon the floor.
