I. Noting Details of a Poem, Rhyming Words in a Poem and Identifying

Speaker in the Poem

Cats Don’t Care

Cats don’t care what dogs think,

They just look down and sort a wink.
Perch themselves, way up high,
The dog barks and starts to cry.
It’s really not fair, those agile cats,
hiding in places, just like rats.
The dog wants to play, join in the fun,
chase the cat, make it run.
But cats care less, don’t need to play fair,
like to tease, don’t have to care.
Poor dog sits and wonders why?
Sly old cat naps with a sigh.
Dog keeps a guard waiting for a twitch,
Cat doesn’t move, not even for an itch.
The game goes on, cat unaware,
the dog just pleads, please care.
