MEMORIZE THE POEM

 

My Big Fat Cat

© Christian M. Mitewu

I own a big fat cat-
The fattest for miles around.
Wherever there’s lots of food,
that’s where he’ll be found.

He’s really good at eating.
It’s a talent, I suppose.
I’m sure if he keeps at it
He’d win the talent shows.

I own a big fat cat-
He weighs at least a ton
He couldn’t run to save his life.
Yes, he isn’t much fun.

His favourite room’s the kitchen,
(I’m sure we all know why).
He eats just about everything,
So that’s why with a sigh…

I’d like to tell you, Teacher,
I’d like to tell you straight,
I might have “accidentally” dropped
My homework in his plate.
