Percy Bysshe Shelley - Verses On A Cat
Work rating: Low

I.
A cat in distress,
Nothing more, nor less;
Good folks, I must faithfully tell ye,
As I am a sinner,
It waits for some dinner 
To stuff out its own little belly.

II.
You would not easily guess
All the modes of distress
Which torture the tenants of earth;
And the various evils, 
Which like so many devils,
Attend the poor souls from their birth.

III.
Some a living require,
And others desire
An old fellow out of the way; 
And which is the best
I leave to be guessed,
For I cannot pretend to say.

IV.
One wants society,
Another variety, 
Others a tranquil life;
Some want food,
Others, as good,
Only want a wife.

V.
But this poor little cat 
Only wanted a rat,
To stuff out its own little maw;
And it were as good
SOME people had such food,
To make them HOLD THEIR JAW!
