greatpoetryAn Ode to Spot
by Lt. Cmdr. Data
Felis Catus is your taxonomic nomenclature,
An endothermic quadroped ,carnivorous by nature.
Your visual ,olfactory , and auditory senses
Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.
I find myself intrigued by your sub-vocal oscillations,
A singular development of cat communications
That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.
Atail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents:
You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance;
And when not being utilitized to aid in locomotion,
It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.
Oh Spot , the complex level s of behavior you display
Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient , Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.
