Puzzle 203

Declawing:
Suzanne Weaver

A cat who had a manicure,
That is, its' claws removed,
was brooding on the state of things,
with hopes they would improve.

No longer could it scratch the couch,
The rug remained intact;
The furniture looked good for once,
The glasses all stayed stacked.

Each day dragged by,the cat was bored,
To motivate got tough.
Without my nails I'm half a cat,
I might as well be stuffed.

A thought came to it with the dawn,
while it was still in bed;
A claw is fine but what the hell,
I'll use my teeth instead!!!
