Have You Seen Joe?

by Mary Naylor

I'm looking for my kitty. Do you know
My cat named, Joe? Piece of fluff, I love so.
Twinkling eyes, perky ears, and nosy nose.
Just let him see a fly, and watch him go!

He has a sassy tail, crooked with hitches,
And a small pink mouth, warm with kisses,
To cuddle him is to know just what bliss is,
But watch out when he gets mad and hisses!

He is major league. He can bat a ball,
Across the room clear into the hall,
Then skitters and dances 'till he hits the wall,
And, oh, how he cusses when he takes a fall!

I'm looking for my kitty. Do you know
My cat named Joe? Piece of fluff that I love so!
Twinkling eyes and nosy nose.
There he is, prancing in the wind - HEY, JOE!
