Original Sonnet

Over there, over there there is a bird

I want, I really want to catch the thing

But my owner said a specific word

For me not to catch the small, very small thing.

Over there, over yonder there is a

Small, oh so small kitty who likes to eat

My food, so I have to, to kitty, say

She must, by my paw and claw, must be beat.

But she can not be beat until I catch

This bird over there in a tall tree

So now, the bird, by claws, must be snatch

For I could never ever let her be

So I am stalking over to pounce

So, I be like the tiger and bounce.
