read the poem and answer the questions :
A Cat in My Lap
Stanza 1:-
I know I have a lot to do, So many things – see them through. There are clothes to clean, grass to mow, Cookies to bake, seeds to sow. But really can’t do all these things in a snap. Because, you see, there’s a cat in my lap.
Stanza 2:-
He stretches and rolls and gives me a wink,
From his sleepy gold eyes – just a small blink.
I smooth his long tail and tickle his tummy,
He yawns and purrs to tell me that’s yummy.
The telephone rings. The paper boy taps. No move do I make. There’s a cat in my lap.
Stanza 3:-
Bright sunlight dances across the floor, To warm my small friend just a bit more. A happy prisoner am I in my chair – Some moments of peace – not a care. I think I’ll take a little nap, with this soft, furry ball, a cat in my lap.
Questions:-
1. Which are the adjectives that can best describe the poet’s mood in the first stanza?
2.How does the poet make the cat feel sleepy and comfortable?
3.How does sunlight help the poet?
