Old Deuteronomy, a class act!

You have to know this fellow to really appreciate him!

A scared stray who'd obviously been mistreated, Old Deuteronomy, as he's called now, is nothing but a class act. 

About like an over-stuffed teddy bear weighing in at almost 20 pounds, this big guy brings me lots of joy!

The Cat

Unconcerned, my extremely well-adjusted cat
Walks through the room purring like a, like a, like a
Cat, the cat she is.

Playful beyond belief, the cat finds ever-new
Ways to entertain herself, making inventive mischief a
Trait of character.

At last worn out, this exceptionally unexceptual
Cat jumps into my lap, settling down
For a nap.

The cat does well, very well at simply
Being what she is:  a cat; There seems a lesson here--
To be a man, and only that.
