The Catattooist’s Claws by J.R.Poulter
The Cat Tattooist has the claws,
For executing what he draws.
He has the inks and, yes, I think
The dark imagination!
….____….____….____
You needs be aware
He’s the stuff of nightmares,
With a black sense of humour
As sick as a tumour….
….____….____….____
No,
He’s not what you’d expect,
But you have to respect
A cat with such skill and precision!
His needle nails click,
Cut, colour and prick
The lines in designs
And colours so fine
Your back is one ‘hell’ of a vision!
….____….____….____
ANYTHING you can dream
He can draw so it seems!
Dragon jaws, tiger claws
Vampire fangs, all those thangs
And more….
….____….____….____
But
Don’t
EVER ask
For a rat
Or
One swipe of his claw
And you’re gizzard to maw
Laid out
Like a taxiderm’s mummy!
