The Cat Who Took Up Breakdancing: A Poem

The Cat Who Took Up Breakdancing:  A Poem


There was a cat named Absalom
who had his own site at dot dot com
since social networkers loved cat pictures
he would quite often pose with his whiskers
and receive gazillions of likes
from grannies to tikes
his pic adorned wind mills along with Dutch dikes.


Now he was a cool cat who lived in a neighbourhood that had gone to the dogs
in a factory town that had lost both its wheels and its cogs
He decided to try something new
and so after giving a cat's me-ew
he took up breakdancing
a new style of prancing
He tried it on cars giving them dents
and then he tried it on a white picket fence
when he found that to be a real pain in the ass
he decided to try it on the soft green grass
His videos went viral
from New York to Cairo
He received over a million hits
and spent many a night putting on the Ritz.


But fame is fleeting in an Internet world
and he couldn't compete with the cat whom goldfishes hurled
and so he found himself in obscurity again
as the world then went beserk over a gold laying hen.
