Poetry month -- Day 19 -- sort of

I'm still working ahead, so today isn't really the 19th. My poem #19 is an instructional poem. Now I'm getting into Chloe's story.

How to choose a cat:

Drive to the pound.
Remember, you cannot take them all home!
Enter the pound.
Remember, you cannot take them all home!
Observe the cats in the cages.
Wash your hands.
Pick out one that is especially beautiful.
Hold him.
Will leaving him here
Break your heart?
No?
Put him back.
Remember, you cannot take them all home!
Wash your hands.
Pick out one that is especially funny.
Hold her.
Will leaving her here
Break your heart?
No?
Put her back.
Remember, you cannot take them all home.
Wash your hands.
Pick out one that is especially loud.
Hold him.
Will leaving him here
Break your heart?
No?
Put him back.
Remember, you cannot take them all home.
Wash your hand.
Pick out one that sings sweetly.
Hold her.
Does she hold you?
Does she sing even more loudly and sweetly?
Will leaving her here
Break your heart?
Yes?
This is your new cat.
Remember, you cannot take them all home.
