The Alley Cat

The Alley Cat


There once was a cat
who looked like a bat
He was no ordinary cat
He was an Alley Cat.

He was black and white
and liked to bite
He was No ordinary cat
He is an Alley Cat

He was a squirrel eater
and was a frog beater
His name is Sylvester
And he is The Alley Cat

ultimately the poem is very elementary.

Well, I agree with Dream_Catcher. But it's okay if a poem is elementary; maybe it was intended for elementary readers. The main thing wrong with this poem is the lack of a consistent tense. You alternate between "was" and "is" every few lines. Which is it? Keep writing!
