Catastrophe
A Funny Cat Poem for Kids
From the book The Biggest Burp Ever
Our house is a catastrophe.
The curtains are in shreds.
There’s fur on all the furniture
and “presents” on our beds.
The couch is clawed to pieces.
The bathroom rug is ripped.
The goldfish bowl is broken
and the cat food dish is flipped.
There’s kitty litter everywhere.
The carpet smells like pee.
We went away for just one day
and got CATastrophe.
