The Cat That Was Just Too Fat - Cat Kids Poem
Jack the cat was just too fat
At each Meow,
His owner would give him a food bowl
He ate tuna like it flowed from a fountain
And chicken like he had millions stored in a mountain
Jack was not happy because he could not do what other cats did
He was a lousy jumper and from climbing trees he hid
His owner never played with him, just simply fed
Stuffing Jack like a thanksgiving turkey, all Jack did was feed then bed
His owner was a busy person and had an important job
She had little time for her cat, which made Jack sad
One day a mouse got into the house and she screamed and shout
Calling Jack to chase the mouse out
It was time for jack to show what he was truly made of
Other cats would know he was much more than fluff
The little rodent ran across the chair and Jack gave chase
But he was just not fast enough as that was the case
The little mouse realized that Jack would never catch him no matter what he did
So he began to jog while Jack ran, stopping and grunting like a fat little pig
The mouse laughed and ran away with the cheese
Jack failed his owner because he was obese
His owner decided it was time for a diet for Jack
So she worked out with him to get him to loose fat
She fed him less and spent much more time and care
Now Jack is a comfortable fast jumping cat, but still like a huggable teddy bear.
