So gODD Made a Cat (with apologies to anybody who wrote something similar)

So gODD made a cat

someone who would shit

in your shoe right next to

their expensive self-cleaning

poo box

So gODD made a cat

someone who would scratch

every piece of furniture

in the house

furniture that it pees on

furniture on which you

suddenly notice the odd smell

of cat urine your friends

won't tell you about.

So gODD made a cat

which purrs to wake you

on your day off

or puts his tongue on your lips

just after it licked it's ass

So gODD made a cat

to cry for food right after

it finished a can of three dollar

cat food with the face of that actor

you know the one your favorite

So gODD made a cat

who fights in the neighborhood

or moans to be fucked

the costs of which are

beyond your billfold

digging into your credit cards

So gODD made a cat

to be funny for 10 seconds

in a video on Youtube

that was passed around

on Reddit and Facebook

with no reference to your edit

of 1300 hours of cat video

So gODD made a cat

that belongs to your neighbor

who prefers your company

when you are deathly allergic

to cat hair and smell and anything

So gODD made a cat

giving you an excuse

for animal mutilation

no matter the charges

no matter the sentence

So gODD made a cat
that finally gave you a reason
to buy a dog
