My Kitten Won't stop Talking

My kitten won't stop talking.
She just prattles night and day.
She walks around repeating
nearly everything I say.

My kitten never says, "Meow."
She never even purrs.
She mimics me instead
in that annoying voice of hers.

She waits for me to speak,
and then she copies every word,
or begs me for a cracker,
or says, "I'm a pretty bird."

I'm not sure what to do, and so
I simply grin and bear it.
She's been this way since yesterday;
that's when she ate my parrot.

Praise

"imaginative flights of fancy and comic exaggeration… This contemporary, irreverent tone is sure to please children, especially boys." — School Library Journal

"We are big fans of Kenn Nesbitt and his side-splitting poetry. He's funny, ingenious, original and best of all, makes up his own darn rules. Do you find poetry boring, maybe a little stuffy? Do you hesitate to introduce poetry to your children because you aren't sure if they will embrace it? You really should give this poetry a try." — www.firrkids.com

"I can't think of a better way to help younger children develop an early appreciation for poetry than reading Nesbitt's poems." — MotherDaughterBookClub.com
