Nigel & Me

Prompt:
Write a story or poem about a cat. His name is Nigel, and he's a bit daft. From there, take it anywhere you wish. Comedy, Drama, Absurd, Action/Adventure-- the choice is yours.


My cat-name is Nigel, part deaf and all daft.
          Nigel? I’ve called you ten times to come eat!
I’ve got ears that hear engines and tiger rings aft.
         Goofy, stop chasing the cars on the street!
My owner's demented…confusion’s her craft.
         Kitty, you’re crazy….so silly and sweet.
My food dish and litter box? Way understaffed.
         Your nutty meow sounds much more like a bleat.
My sunbeam is cold. There’s a hell of a draft!
         Nigel, why did you take my best flannel bed sheet?
You take it away and I’ll give you the shaft!
         Keep it, then, cat. You’ve a will of concrete!
