you.

                        ODE  TO  SPOT



        Felis Catus, is your taxonomic nomenclature

        An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature ?

        Your visual, olefactory and auditory senses,

        Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defences.

        I find myself intrigued by your sub-vocal oscillations.

        A singular development of cat communications.

        That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection.

        For a rhythmic stroking of your fur, to demonstrate affection.

        A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents,

        You would not be so agile if you lacked its counter-balance

        And when not being utilised to aid in locomotion,

        It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

        Oh, Spot, the complex levels of behaviour you display

        Connote a fairly well developed cognitive array

        And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,

        I none the less consider you, a true and valued friend.



                             *** The End ***





TTFN. Bob.
