On the sixth day God made the animals
The cat generally disapproved of the others
And in a superior fashion licked its paws
In the springtime shade of the very first oak
The very first cat looked upon the very first bird

Chewy in musculature and crunchy in bone
Then when the Creator rebuked the cat
The cat ignored Him
And in a superior fashion licked its paws
