Analysis of Cats

Robert Frost 1874 (San Francisco) – 1963 (Boston)



Cats are meaningless
They just keep on leaving us
Yes they can be snuggly  
But they are just so ugly
They are so gross
Like they don’t even stay close
Cats are selfish
Because they think they are princesses
They aren’t even rough
They just think they are so tough
ROW!
