Analysis of Ode to Cats



Oh, Kitty cats
So elegantly strolling down the streets
Keeping mice on the run, killing rodents just for fun,
and keeping the neighborhood safe and fun.

Oh, Cats
So perfectly perched upon my fence, preying on prey
Malicious intentions to maul any lesser creature you see
You make me so proud can you see?

Oh, cats
Hunt on, live wild and free
Cute, capable, and wise
Not even the cats of the jungle compare to you cats of the street.
