Cats on Two and Four Legs

The very best investment I ever made
(I speak not of money because I have none)
Was when my pencil was first to paper laid
And my life as we know it was then begun

I erase more than I write (did you know that?)
And get thinner as my cat gets yet more fat
But everyone knows about Noodles and me
You can Google my cat and see what I mean

Freddie Noodles and I have found poetry
In those dark and lonely places in between
Where other cats on two and four legs never
Would care to look and daresay have never been

But one day I looked there and found forever
And started to share with you what I have seen
All these crazy pieces of my puzzle fit
And it looks like the picture is not quite done

I guess I might as well keep on doing it
I might learn a thing or two and have some fun
If you would like to read over my shoulder
I like some company as I get older
