Poems for Special Occasions

Nicola 2

I always have trouble when trying to find

A suitable, funny and appropriate rhyme

For someone whose wit is particularly quick:

The ever dry, smart and sarcastic Nic.

The only being who can outsmart Nic

Spends his day doing nothing more than flick-

ing his tail at anyone who dares to disturb

His lazing around all unperturbed.

But then this be-tailed being is a cat,

And far be it from me to try and outsmart that.

So while Oliver the cat remains oblivious today

There’s something that I just want to say.

Happy Birthday to a very lovely friend

Whose cat may not appreciate or attend,

But then Oliver doesn’t know lucky he is

To have someone like Nic to coolly dismiss.
