Cutie Pie Cat

                 Cutie Pie Cat

The pink-nosed face of Prospero my cat,

Pink nose and white fur face, is what he rubs

Against me, purring.  He does not know that

I love him since he’s cute.  My finger scrubs

His whiskers and his ears because I think

He likes that kind of love.  What he wants, though,

Is spreading of his pheromonal stink

On me thus marking me as his.  A glow

Of cat smell on me is his goal.  His eyes

Shut tight his bliss.  This makes him yet more dear

To me.  This fact would bring him no surprise

While keeping up his purr hormonal smear.

  Forget the fact that last night in my house

    He bloodied up my floor with cute, mute mouse.
