Macaroni
Macaroni is quite a remarkable cat,
Who runs our small household; enough said about that.
He helps when I work on the poems that I write,
By sorting and shredding those that don’t sound right.
And when it comes to rejection he has perfected his skill,
By flopping down on the rejects and laying perfectly still.
So, I seek his approval and he never is wrong,
When he purrs, “It’s wonderful”, that’s my favorite cat song.
I get most of the credit for the things that I do,
But Macaroni, my editor, he deserves his credit too.
So, when it’s quiet and we’re alone just us two,
I tell him, “you’re a good boy”, and he just grins ‘cause without him, what would I do?
