Thoroughly Poetic Thursday
If it’s Thursday, it must be time for some poetry. Mom wasn’t feeling like writing anything this week, so she left the task to us. The prompt letter is “N.” We decided to take the easy route, however, and use one of the prompt words as our subject. Those words are: 1) Naughty, 2) Nice, 3) Normal and 4) New. We started our poem by combining naughty and nice, but then we thought it would be more truthful just to write about “naughty.”
We Don’t Try to Be Naughty
Sometimes we are naughty.
Cats cannot always control themselves.
Often we’ll trip you on the stairs
And steal treats right off the shelves.
Shredding your newspaper isn’t malicious,
To us it’s our way to get your attention.
And kneading your flesh with claws extended
Isn’t intended to cause you tension.
Nice to naughty can come in a whisker’s flick
When a misplaced paw breaks a bauble,
But we never do it on purpose.
We don’t try to get ourselves in trouble.
Horking in your shoe really isn’t intentional,
As when we make you unhappy, we are sad.
Naughty somehow just comes naturally.
We never set out to make you mad.
When you think we are being naughty,
Just remember it’s not deliberate,
We’re just happy and frisky kitties…
Not uncaring and badly behaved misfits!

Of course I’m naughty. I have an image to uphold.
Oh, so clever and very true!
We don’t try to be naughty either…but we’re cats and it kinda comes with the territory. 🙂 Great poem, guys!
I’ll take a naughty kitty over an empty house any day of the week! And I agree with other commenters, that ‘naughty’ is a hoomin concept, not a feline one.
Naughty? NEVER! We are just “being us”……if things we do happen to be interpreted as naughty, then so be it – we’re just being CATS which is something we are quite capable of being!!! Love your poem……….love Cooper standing on the keyboard……love BEING A KITTY!! Thanks for being in Angel Sammy’s poetry parade – you always make us smile.
Love, Teddy
I think naughty is a human concept. When humans think is a kitty is being naughty, we are just being… kitties!
Our angel Simba tripped petcretary on the stairs…in 1991, and she has a healed vertebra near her ribs to remember him by…ouch.
That is a fun poem, Cooper Murphy! Did you get to type??
I agree. It is never intentional. Sometimes things just happen. ❤
Sometimes you just have to be a little naughty. There’s nothing wrong with that!
